The Julie Brown Project – Drypoint by Rebecca Cowan
I was inspired by the celebrity portraits by Andy Warhol, whose iconic images use repetition and colour variation to highlight different aspects of his very familiar subjects.
A Perfect Day – New Oils by Susan Oomen
The works suggest moments of solitude as well as intimate pairings, illustrations of what it means to be close to nature and to one another.
Paintings by Robert Blenderman
Blenderman’s tireless imagination is hardly exhausted by local streetscapes and landscapes. Realistic, classically styled still lives and wildly expressive abstracts have also been the subject of his attention over the years.
i Love THIS PIECE
Each work has been selected by the artist because it represents a piece which they feel deeply about; works which have yet to find their soulmates.
Fluid Forms ~ Duerst & Loomit
The art of collaboration requires a curious nature, a strong sense of experimentalism and an abundance of trust. To find a kindred spirit, especially in the art world, which can often be quite isolating, creates a unique opportunity for openness, artistic development and inspiration.
Collective Sparks ~ ShagRug 2016
For many years the members of the artists’ collective, which was named after the yellow shag rug which once adorned the studio of founding member, Erika Olson, have gathered together to inspire and nourish each others creativity.
