Trill Zapatero - Treeline 3 Artist

This month one of the Treeline Sky Galleries is showing 2D work reproduced from real life paintings by Trill Zapatero.

Trill describes her paintings as travel collages or maps of journeys. Having spent part of her life in Asia, captivated by its richness and diversity, her work resonates with exuberant colours and the mix of reality, myth, fantasy and dream one finds in much of this part of the world. She says what she is looking for is some place to get to that is behind the surface, beyond the material nature of the painting and collage.

Her work is informed in part by the landscape, the flora and fauna of the places she has visited, in part by the 'happening' of the painting where images and ideas form of their own accord, and in part by inspirational material from other sources. Her works in this exhibition are all related to trees.
Trill says:
Trees are a universal symbol of growth and as such inform the organic nature of the process of my painting

Opening of Treeline3

The third exhibition at Virtual Treeline opened today in Second Life. It features an amazing array of diverse works. At ground level Jedda Zenovka's installation built around an enormous tree delighted everyone. Congratulations Jedda- this is an amazing build.


At sky level paintings by shellina Winkler and Trill Zapatero are in the gallery, an installation featuring the work of Richard Newport, and a fabulous bubble tree from Soror Nishi.



Way up in the sky Olmia Tenk's Wollemi installation pays tribute to a tree forgotten by time. Olmia was there hiding amongst the work if you looked hard enough you might have found her.

Thank you to all who came to the opening and to the wonderful artists for putting on such a show.I will be blogging about each of the artists and their works in the coming weeks.
