A love letter in colour: Lesley Hunter’s ‘Wild Birds’ at Art Trax
On a warm Sunday afternoon in Beaufort’s old railway station, visitors drifted through Art Trax with the easy pace of a regional opening — a few familiar faces, quiet conversations, people stopping, doubling back, then stopping again. Lesley Hunter’s work has a way of doing that. Across the room, the paintings didn’t rely on subject matter to announce themselves. Birds, landscapes, memories from travel — different surfaces, different scales — yet the same hand was evident throughout. The colour relationships were consistent, the decisions confident. You never need to check the wall label to know who had made them.
