‘INTERVALS’
BY GIORGIA BEL
ON VIEW | 13 JUNE - 27 JUNE 2026
OPENING DAY | SATURDAY 13TH JUNE 1-3pm
“I am coming to understand rhythm not as constant motion,
but as something shaped by what interrupts it.
Once, I thought I must not stop-
that to keep my rhythm, I had to remain in motion.
To move continuously, without break and without pause.
But the body has its own language; it insists.
Rest arrives anyway-not as full surrender, but in fragments.
In the narrow intervals between movements,
I blink asleep for a second here,
a second there.
I breathe out-the body softens.
Even still, my body softens in this state.
I learn the relentlessness of the body’s design-how intricate, fragile, powerful, and driven it is.
And then I move again.
Somehow, within the not-stopping, it arrives-this quiet, necessary rest.
Not outside the rhythm, but threaded through it.
These small intervals-these almost invisible pauses-are what hold everything together.
I paint this collection of works in what feels like a never-ending whirl of movement.
The quiet and necessary rest comes not only in those brief moments of blinking asleep, but also in the studio where I create.
This is the place where I gather and lay down my ideas and understandings.
It is the space where I have felt intimidated by the canvas hanging overhead, yet also excited by it-tied to it, changed by it.
Stillness exists here, but we are always moving toward something else too."
Giorgia Bel.
B.1990 and raised in Newcastle, NSW, Bel is a self-taught artist, having begun her practice in 2015. She started painting in a time of ill health throughout her 20’s. For a time painting had been something to aid and fill time during the season that was, but soon became a great love that continued beyond this.
Bel’s palette and subjects hum a meditative silence of the bush and landscape of this Sunburnt Country.
Her sombre palette and repetition of her subject echo a melancholia in her rhetoric. With looming, skeletal trees in the foreground, a Rothko-like treatment of canvas pulls the viewer in.
Bel’s connection to place is evident as her paintings speak to her philosophy of art as medicine.
