About The Artwork

“Fracture #2 Gold” is a combination of acrylic, metallic and oil paint together with various textural and oxidising mediums. A hard-edged band of bold colors divides the canvas into two large sections. The components in the upper area suggest an aerial landscape incorporating several discs. The largest disc was originally gold but the purity of its shape and color has been overlaid with advancing rust and corrosion. The lower area invokes a barren terrestrial landscape with overlapping discs. These discs contain an amalgam of the ecclesiastical and industrial: the tracery of a medieval rose window together with the industrial cogs and wheels of machinery. The oxidized outer contour conveys the destruction and disintegration of the pure and pristine. The rusted elements in the painting have not been fixed and will continue to corrode over time.

Born in Hobart, Tasmania. Lives and works in Canberra, Australia & Vienna, Austria. Art practice encompasses painting, drawing, collage, installation and photography. Recent work is a reinterpretation of the classical theme of man’s fall from grace and banishment from the Garden of Eden in the context of contemporary human intervention in the environment. The paintings are a fusion of abstract elements with Baroque and mythological components from historic sculptures around Europe. They contrast hard-edged geometry with organic shapes, the spiritual with abject elements and vibrant pure color with oxidation and corrosion. Actual rust and various oxidizing mediums have been incorporated into the works and will continue to evolve over the lifetime of the work.
