Frans Bisschops is pleased to present Leisure: 25 pastel lite, chromatically charged scenes of leisure, love and longing (plus a few paintings of sharks) over four years in the making.

Like a beachball that’s been left in the sun, these paintings are a sunbleached ode to leisure and the promise of paradise.
A whimsical ode to summer in Western Australia and the changes in our surroundings, environment and psyche.

This is a collection of over 25 large-scale paintings that he has been working on since his last show at the Moore’s Building almost 4 years ago.
