The new art installation on Southsea seafront has been refreshed with photography by two local artists Olana Light and Maria de la O Garrido.
For this second wave of artists to have their work featured in this public art gallery space, the curatorial team chose two photographic-based artists whose work really complements each other.
On the seaward side of the panels is the work of Spanish artist Maria de la O Garrido, entitled ‘Suddenly the Sea’. On the landward facing side is the work of Olana Light, featuring self-portrait photographs from her project ‘Searching for a Place to Belong’. Each body of work connects with the relationships between identity and place.
This round of art will be on display for the next four months until the end of July 2025. Hotwalls Studios will be managing an open call for the next round of art to be displayed at The Windbreaks.
For more information about The Windbreaks please visit the dedicated page – where you can also see previous exhibiting artists like Emily Faludy.
The Windbreaks is part of the Portsmouth City Council’s Seafront arts programme that recently brought the poet laureate Simon Armitage to the city to install a new poem – you can also read more about this in the Portsmouth News.
