LETHBRIDGE ART AUCTION

Dear Friends

As you all know I show my artworks at the Lethbridge Gallery in Paddington, the gallery is introducing Art Auctions as a regular feature of their year, where they will sell both secondary market artworks by well-known Australian artists and also a selection of gallery artists as well. 

I'll have a piece or two in the catalogue so if you've ever wanted to get a piece of mine and have been concerned about the price, now is the time to come along and take part in the auction.

Even if you don't want to buy something this time, it would be good for you to come along for what looks likely to be a fun and entertaining afternoon

What: Lethbridge Gallery Art Auction

When: Saturday March 11

Time: 5pm for a 5.30 start.

STREETLIFE

Here's how I've started my year...a new collection of paintings - STREETLIFE. They are large scale and took most of last year to complete. I'm pleased with the results.

My show opens at Lethbridge Gallery Saturday (details below)

'Between the lines'

I've consider ideas around connection and detachment. The viewer is invited to view both tableaux and close-ups to consider our responses when in public places. Depending on our mood, sometimes we feel connected and sometimes introspective.  Streetlife views this though objects – somehow, machines and structures can be as animate as people, more so sometimes.

'Still portrait'

I prefer to use a pared-down aesthetic, finding compositions in the commonplace and everyday. Ideas and inspiration are drawn from popular culture, especially music, street culture and style icons.

'Inroads'

Perspective, vantage point and space between and around objects are used to invite the viewer’s eye. My palette continues to evoke a modernist and mid-twentieth century colour scheme.

Opening Saturday 4 February from 3pm - 5pm at Lethbridge Gallery,136 Latrobe Tce, Paddington.

Exhibition shows from 4 - 15 February
