A Day at the Beach" presents a series of paintings that chronicle the shifting colours, moods, and activities that define different moments of a beach day.

From the soft anticipation of dawn to the vibrant energy of midday, each painting captures a specific time and feeling—the colours and atmosphere of 6:37am will be vastly different from those at 11:42am or 2:42pm.

This exhibition celebrates the full spectrum of experiences that the beach offers, honoring both the quiet contemplative moments and the joyful bursts of activity that make each visit unique.

About Lauren


Lauren Esplin is a renowned Australian artist celebrated for her unique representation of beach scenes. Her distinctive approach combines free brush strokes that create abstracted and figurative backgrounds invoking energy and nostalgia, contrasted with realistic figures rendered in precise detail in the foreground. This juxtaposition creates a visual tension that captures both the immediacy of experience and the hazy quality of memory.
