Jasmine Mansbridge
Acrylic paint
Wadawurrung Country, 17-19 James St, Geelong
Commissioned for the 2022 Geelong Women's Street Art Commission project
This painting was designed to feel like a little Utopian world in the middle of the City, a world within a world. A place where the imagination can be free.
The work features Jasmine’s physical sculptural pieces. The Thought Catcher (cube), the Five Point Portal (pyramid) and the Dream Gazebo (hexagon). These sculptures represent various aspects of the self and allow for dreaming, reflection and meditative contemplation.
There are worlds within us, within our minds and hearts and all around us and outside us as well. Art provides us with ways to slow down and be conscious of all we are and all we have the capacity to be.
Jasmine Mansbridge’s work is best described as the meeting of exploration and refinement.
Jasmine has taken her art to a number of mediums – sculpture, largescale public works and intimate paintings for private collection. Her work provokes thought and wonder and gives the viewer the chance to apply their personal storytelling, as they unpack the geometry and portals of Mansbridge’s imagined worlds.
She is held in numerous collections throughout Australia, and has exhibited works in Hong Kong, Swell Sculpture Festival, and galleries around Australia, from the NGV to Katherine in the NT.
