Annabelle Gfeller Presents 'Golden Hour' at Iberica
Elevating a sensorial dining experience, this Med-inspired Bondi hotspot presents a new still life series that evokes sun-drenched coastlines and fleeting bliss.
Overview
Colour, cuisine and culture harmonise as locally-based Swiss-New Zealand painter Annabelle Gfeller presents Golden Hour at Iberica — Bondi's much-loved Spanish-Mediterranean restobar. Held over four weeks, Gfeller's dreamy still lifes and botanical works will bring new meaning to the restaurant's sunlit interiors and terracotta hues.
On display until Tuesday, November 25, the mostly self-taught artist is renowned for her vibrant canvases, where a deep connection to nature and spirituality resonate through warm ochres, deep olives and soft corals. For Iberica visitors, that likely sounds like a match made in heaven, considering how the restaurant's interior leans into Southern European influences.
This collaboration is just the latest in Iberica's pursuit of immersive dining experiences. Forming a special kind of simpatico with each dish and drink, the idea is to feature remarkable art that enhances the sensory journey of dining. So, get ready to experience how Gfeller's paintings converse with ceramics, vessels and elevated Med-style cuisine in fascinating ways.
"The paintings felt completely at home within the space — the play of light, tones and texture creating a natural dialogue between art and interior," said Gfeller following Golden Hour's launch at Iberica. "It was such a joy to see everything come together so naturally."
