I paint because I have to see again and again what will happen next when I am mixed with paint. And while the paintings are clearly visible, what I bring to them seems largely hidden. Daily living is a wall behind which much of our being resides and acts in the dark. The paintings then become a means of trying to find out just who is painting them.

I like to meditate and feel free of thought before I paint. I simply cannot work after being in traffic. My main quality is to transform things, I love it. If someone wanted to give me a gift, just put me in a junk yard and I will spend the day as a kid, just being in the present moment… So painting for me is just playing with feelings in transforming colors and texture, until something starts talking to me, at that point I know that the playing is almost finish, it could take a couple of months, that’s why I’m always working on 15 to 20 paintings at the same time. 80% of my work is without thinking, the other 20% is to understand what is going on, after that I homogenize the work and make it cleaner.

“Enough is never enough. Each piece is like a series of small battles – something to overcome in anongoing effort to please myself. The creative process is sometimes very exhausting, unlike the interpretation some have that it’s always therapeutic with ideas just flying onto the canvas”.

Scott Plear

Scott Plear is an abstract artist whose work is noted for its risk-taking use of colour, texture, and layering. His work focuses on non-objective imagery, and his practice of painting is concerned with the use of the visual elements as a means of expression. He paints on unstretched canvas, varying the format and process depending on the direction of the painting.

I had begun to allow the things in my immediate environment that I habitually looked at with fondness, to have a greater presence in my paintings. The Purple Martin birdhouse in my yard is invariably the first thing I see as I look out of my bedroom window. This shape with it’s serrated edges, formed by the three tiers of platforms, that constitute the birdhouse, struck a visual chord for me and being similar, in my perception at least, to the serrated edges, of an architectural niche in a wall in Karnak in Luxor, which in ’89 had also had a powerful impact, began to be a starting point in the centre of each picture.

The current group of circular paintings springs from the artists’ previous series “spheres”. What was then a dynamic interplay of multiple colour circles and definition of space is now concentrated in one individual form that radiates light and colour frequencies.

Sonja Kobrehel

She is a multiple awarded artist. Sonja has experience working with many mediums but favours acrylics over all. Her unique style is apparent in every piece she creates; it stretches from intricate whimsical personal iconography to abstract pieces  with always recognisable brushstroke.

The foundation of my art practice and creative research explores the relationships between environmental sciences, the landscape and issues bordering abstraction and representation. Within that framework I pose questions concerning identity, place, ancestral origin, religion, and relational abstraction.

Scott Bertram

In my paintings I’m looking for a sense of recognition and yet also a suspension of resolution.

I attempt to provide experiences where uncertainties are accepted, form and meaning are impermanent, and structures are imposed but then broken.

Rose Braun

I am enthusiastic about the expressive potential in gesture. I began working with steel panels as supports in the year 2000, and like the resistance they provide, plus I enjoy the process of etching them with acid.

Artist

Richard Taylor

I am a sculptor, and also a painter. I use my three-dimensional metal forms as canvases for a variety of paint applications.

Artist

Michael Shemchuk

Largely self-taught, Shem did not emerge on the art scene in a conventional fashion. Following his native skills and sensitivities as an artist, his career has criss-crossed the world of applied arts and visual expression.
