ABOUT THE ARTWORK
"Macon's deep sea", is part of my "Point of Departure" series. This art work is inspired in the turquoise's clear waters of the Caribbean, but mainly refers to the imaginary town of "Macondo" created by Colombian writer Gabriel García Marquéz for his book: "A hundred years of solitude". A great joy in my life is global travel, taking in the bright colours of all walks of life and those of nature. To me every journey has a "Point of Departure" - a physical, or metaphorical, starting point from which an experience of discovery awaits - the entrance to a rain forest national park, or to a UNESCO historical site, the launching pad for a balloon ride over the desert in Alice Springs, Australia, to the trail-head to a hike up an active volcano; but also the moment of decision when one starts to plan an adventure. For over 18 years I was a tour guide and tour director in my country of birth Costa Rica, as well as numerous travels around the globe. The works in “Point of Departure” refer not only to memories of amazing natural phenomena I came to experience, but on memories of my feelings and reactions as well - feelings and reactions evoked by these visual, aural, natural, social and cultural experiences.

Randal Arvilla
Australia
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.
