About The Artwork

"Cardumen VII", 2016 is part of my "Oceans” series. This art work makes reference to a snorkeling experience I had several years ago while on a trip to the Caribbean island of Aruba. As I jumped into the ocean there were millions of small fish swimming all around me, thus the name of the series "Cardumen" which means “school of fish” in Spanish. I am attracted to water subjects such as rain, ocean, storms, which place me in a state of calm, healing mind-set or at times in turmoil, which are reflected in the art works. Color and texture play an important role in this series. In this series I reference fragility of nature in a time where global warming is concerning and the fact that the degradation of the environment minimizes the presence of small sea life; which when in huge numbers, it is known to be a sign of health and abundance in the oceans. (Oil on stretched canvas, D-rings in place, clean edges, un-framed, dated and signed in the back, ready to hang) (Main Photo by Monica Renaud)

Costa Rican - Australian, Sydney-based artist Randal ARVILLA, works in encaustics, oil and acrylic painting. His works examine fragility of nature, his search for his cultural identity and inner healing. Arvilla’s imagery carries a sense of displacement or re-placement as a global traveller and resident in a new land. Through addition, subtraction, intuitive mark-making, lines, textures, typography, colour intensity and movement, Arvilla creates an energetic oeuvre with abstract and expressive influences. Arvilla borrows images and stimuli from moments that catch his eye, industrial grid patterns, landscape, historical accounts, typography, letter & number punch sets, creating narratives, yet not literal ones. His colour intensity, use of materials, gesture and intuitive style present in these works depict influences of Costa Rican, Australian and Western Art. Randal Arvilla’s works suggest impressions, emotions, places, familiar situations, memories, trips that he has made worldwide and are a continuous research where one series leads to another.
