Sculpture Garden

Some of my old sculptures and some of my new. I have gone from literal depictions to symbolic representation. It seemed that, in general, the popularity of my sculptures relied on the physical attractiveness of the models. In my later work, I have negated all notions of pre-conceived beauty.

Portraits

Here are two portrait subjects that were keen to sit in my studio in Daylesford. I love doing portraits but it can be hard to pin me down... If your keen to pose then Call Me!

Portrait painting 'Pop Art' style.

Here are two portraits I painted of a husband and wife, I painted hers a five years ago because I found her  style inspiring, glamorous but simple. That large asymmetrical signature smile of Marys was a challenge between character and flattery... Success.
Years later, they commissioned the husband portrait of Justin from his wedding photo, with a sombre and gangster like pose. A trained eye would probably see the difference between an image in the mind painted with photographic reference against one straight off a photo.
The style here is 'Pop Art', which refers to creating an image, that of a sellable genre and thus creating an aesthetic work of Art  capable of elevating a person into a larger than life movie star genre and when successful, still capture the uniqueness of character in the individual. COMMISSIONS WELCOME!

Up and coming exhibition...

Posable Invite design and the title of my new body of work, which is some as previously seen and some new. There are many ways I can go about getting my work out there in a context where it will be understood/appreciated. Any suggestions?

End of an Era...

Hi there dear Blogspot, how I have neglected you so... I have come so far and have even been secretive and keeping undercover but now I have decided to expose the self that has emerged through this body of work that is the End of an Era, for my BA Fine Arts (Ceramic Major) is over and here is what I put on show at the end of year exhibition.

Sex and Human Psycology!

Idealism of Beauty: I have chosen to represent Beauty in its subliminal form.

Culture verses Nature: This relates by means of biology and the patterns of attraction that it influences.

Death and Reproduction: The Later as a means of overcoming the former.

Spiritual: The dynamics represented in my work, between the two polarities of Male and female are indicitive of the dynamics of life itself.

Gender Issues:  Male and Female, acknowledged as one. A feminine rise to equality.

Symbolism: A language that operates with little exclusion.

Globalism: Love makes the world go around.

Out and about over Daylesford...

I Love the effect of looking straight down on the earth as an abstract viewpoint.

Also reflecting on the nature of where I am.

The scar like tracks of a well trodden path.

Up, Up and Away!

One of our lucky friends... Just gotta be here at the right time.

Art Box

Finally added finishing touches to Art Tool Box which is destined to travel, full of Art supplies and live in the boot of Violet... If we ever get stranded, the moment will not be wasted in unrecorded contemplation.
