Nellie Crawford |
Nellie
Crawford is a contemporary Australian still life artist. Nellies works
are highly sought after as distinctive and finely executed oil
paintings.
With subtle use of colour and a deep respect for the
technical skills of drawing and painting, Nellie creates paintings which
evoke a sense of tranquility and balance. The simple, timeless things
that she sees everyday fascinate her... the colours and texture of
fruit, the shine on an enamel jug, the patina of well-worn utensils,
table tops and window ledges catching the morning or afternoon light. In
her painting Nellie hopes to capture the feeling of quiet
contemplation.

Douglas Kirsop
Since 1985 Douglas has travelled extensively
through the Pilbara, Kimberley, Murchison and the Northern Territory.
He states 'The north will always have a fascination and be an endless
source of inspiration. The timeless, vast and spiritual nature of its
land has a power which has not been felt anywhere else'.
'My
art is expressed through the language of painting my reaction to a
visual experience. It may be landscape, the play of light over a
subject, the movement of water, the colour of the rock, but I am
compelled and inspired to put it down on paper or canvas and develop it
further in the studio. The process and purpose of making art is my way
of reasoning my position in the world whose beauty I attempt to reflect and capture'.

Vayu
Michael
starts with a drawing and can tell straight away if it has ‘something’.
As he states "My best work happens immediately without too much
fuss. I have always loved the feeling of working with my left hand even
though I am right handed. Painting provides me with an amazing feeling
of freedom and this inspires the paint on the canvas. People are
attracted to my work because there is a connection for them. I write
words on all of my paintings and if these are honest then they will
resonate". Michael states "The most important thing in the creative
process is to know yourself. I need a spiritual connection with my
work. This connection is referred to in the name that I paint under,
'Vayu'. This is reflected as my spiritual name".
