"Two trees on Mary Street . . . Amen!" is a compelling Abstract painting that exemplifies the principles of Abstract expressionism. Created by an artist exploring organic forms and emotional expression, the work employs bold brushstrokes and vibrant colors to evoke a sense of movement and spiritual resonance. Displayed at the Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) within Brisbane's Queensland Cultural Centre, the piece invites viewers to interpret its symbolic use of two trees as a reflection on nature, community, and affirmation, culminating in a powerful 'Amen!' that conveys a sense of hope and unity.
