Geraldyne Potereau – Mindscapes
Saturday 15 March 2025 - Thursday 3 April 2025
Lake House Arts is pleased to present…
Geraldyne Potereau – Mindscapes
Becroft Gallery
Opening Celebration:
4 – 6pm Sunday 16th March
About the exhibition:
This exhibition is a reflection of an ongoing journey and the solace found in art. Drawing from personal experiences, each piece explores the inner landscapes of the self. The artworks serve as a visual catalog of timeless, nameless places within, where interpretation is open to all. Viewers are invited to engage with each piece, naming and describing them as they see fit, transforming the experience into a conversation that begins within and extends outward. The exhibition creates a space for vulnerability and reflection, allowing art to become both a personal mirror and a shared dialogue. -Geraldyne Potereau
About Geraldyne Potereau: “I was born in November 1982 in France, but lived in South America until I was 7. I studied graphic design against my parent’s wishes and was never embraced as an artist. I went through a journey of discovery, looking for my own style and found myself in surrealism: using imagery from dreams and imagination and transcribing them without filter. I travel within, confronting myself, accepting myself, transforming art into a conversation.”

Biljana Snjegota – Track of Time
Saturday 22 February 2025 - Thursday 13 March 2025
Opening Celebration: Sunday 23rd Feb, 4 – 6pm
The exhibition “Track of Time” celebrates the visionary scientists whose groundbreaking discoveries have reshaped the world as we know it. Through art, we explore how their intellectual feats and bold ideas continue to leave an indelible mark on humanity. From revolutionary theories in physics and biology to the shaping of technology and society, these “big brains” have forged paths that echo in our everyday lives. Their contributions transcend the realm of academia, influencing culture, progress, and even the way we understand ourselves in an ever-changing world. Join us in reflecting on the power of human curiosity, intellect, and the pursuit of knowledge, as we honour the legacy of those who dare to think beyond the possible.
