Pocket Views is Lani Westerman’s inaugural exhibition with Anthea Polson Art. She tells that not only does its title refer to the very small size of the works but also to “the small ‘pocket views’ that are often depicted within an overall scene.” The nonfigurative works take as their source of inspiration an encounter with […]
In intricate depictions that defy convention and category, Jill Lewis’s paintings communicate her philosophical and compositional musings. The Melbourne-based artist tells that the title of her exhibition, Life As A Puzzle, is partially an analogy of creative procedure. “The painting process is like a puzzle when dividing the picture plane into areas of colour and […]
The Shape of Light is Evie Adasal’s inaugural exhibition with Anthea Polson Art, its paintings capturing her sensory experiences of the natural world. Sydney-based Adasal tells that the works often begin with a feeling or memory related to her surroundings which she manifests through the bold use of unexpected colour combinations and shapes to create […]
Federal-based Kirsten Chambers describes the exhibition’s paintings as depictions of local areas that she has a visual and environmental affinity with. Often presented from an aerial perspective, several works reconfigure vistas observed from hinterland roads. Although the paintings take their source of inspiration from such encounters, they transcend any sense of literal location. The scenes […]
Buderim-based Veronica Cay informs that her current paintings and drawings depict an ongoing conversation she is having about the varied roles and experiences of women throughout history. Her focus is always from a female perspective. Cay’s works embrace the figurative expressionist mode. Both painted surface and human document they have an extraordinary psychological presence. The figures […]
Opening The Door On Curiosity is David Green’s third solo exhibition with Anthea Polson Art. Contrary to most artists, Green begins each new work with an established title. “Having the title in place gives me a clearer understanding of what I am sensing to achieve, in essence, the journey is clearer,” he discloses. With a […]
Melbourne-based Nick Howson’s latest body of work depicts his immersive experience of landscape during long distance car journeys to Sydney and the Blue Mountains last year. Eschewing expressways, the route traversed forests, rural vistas and coastal areas where he often stayed for days at a time to explore and sketch his observations for future paintings. […]
Melbourne based Cathy Quinn describes her works as investigations into the fluid relationship between landscape and introspection. “For me, painting is an escape – a means of transporting oneself into another realm – the state of flow,” she relays. Her art communicates a visual experience beyond the strictures of traditional landscape painting. The logic of […]
The imagery in Martin Edge’s new body of work MARTIN! reflects his journeys throughout Queensland that he has embarked upon from his Strathpine home and studio. However, in speaking of the exhibition’s title he states, “My art is about my journey’s and love of the state in which I live!” Since first being represented by […]
The title of this exhibition is fun and colourful like the work. It describes the idyllic surrounds of our subtropical area, but it also has a more meaningful side, as it references a rich history of utopian style art. Artists, philosophers and writers have always been in the business of imagining better and brighter worlds. […]
