Blue By You was inspired by time with friends and family at our family beach. During summer holidays we would spend weeks at the beach where we would invent our own games, play, swim and talk for hours. It was a time of fun, freedom, joy. Memories of this time and experience are embedded into my soul. Even now, thirty years later, this is where I love to be. It is wonderful to see my own children enjoy this place, changed as it has, just like we did. In painting these people, I have not shown much detail, they are essentially in silhouette, or will be once the sun sets. I called it Blue By You as the figures in blue convey a closeness, a bond of friendship with the central lady. The brushstokes convey movement, a fleeting memory, a mistiness that is not quite clear. The memory is from a long ago. The viewer may see themselves in this painting. Perhaps they are central to a similar story like the lady in pink in the middle or a they identify with the other figures in blue who are by her side. In new work for 2019, I continue to explore the gestures and stances of people. How they convey their emotions, conversations, intensity through the stance and gestures. These are painted using broad brush strokes in a semi-abstract way. There is not much detail in the actual people of these paintings and it’s not necessary because you can read them from their body language, their shapes, the angle of the head.

Australia
Brisbane, (Australia) born and raised, Narelle Callen is a visual artist and designer who has always loved art, drawing and painting. Raised in an artistic, creative family, Narelle spent much of her childhood and teenage years in northern New South Wales at her family beach house, photographing and capturing details of the beach and surrounds, that holiday feeling, sense of freedom and adventure. She continued this through her design study and still does this, interpreting these details in her art work. After studying Industrial Design at the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Narelle worked for a number of years in both architectural and interior design. She went on to complete a Masters of Project Management with The Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. After 17 years of getting quite absorbed and rather lost in large infrastructure projects, and finding herself more and more distracted with the driving need to create something meaningful and artistic herself, she returned to an artistic, creative career and is currently building her business, The Callen Collective, into a thriving arts business. Her artwork hangs in private collections in Australia and internationally. She is based on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula, south east of Melbourne in Australia. www.callencollective.com.au
