Thrive is a conglomerate of different elements that have washed ashore. Elements include golden sandstone, blue bottles, mangroves, algae, weed and corals and all that succumbs to the power of the ocean, and that alludes to another time or another world that is hidden from usual view. I have attempted to capture the flavour of the Australian coast, in a less literal sense, in the palette chosen, in a spherical-birds-eye view of repeating waves, and shapes depicting rocky outcrops and hills. It’s a congregation of the three physical states (liquid, solid and gas) which is a direct correlation to the nature of the method in which Thrive was created: in using the viscosity of paint, gravity and evaporative measures… as if nature itself was employed in an attempt to mimic nature. Similarly, as throughout the layering process, the painting grew in some areas, and eroded in others, mimicking a thriving ecological system or coastal shoreline.

Amanda Krantz is an Australian artist whose work has been informed by residencies in Japan, Thailand and Tasmania. Her practice is an exploration of materials, science and nature, and image making. She completed her Bachelor of Visual Arts at Queensland University of Technology in 2001, and has since continued study at the University of Melbourne solely to inform her arts practice. Her most recent achievements include being selected and commissioned to create 10 large paintings for Peter Millard & Partners in London. She was also recently one of thirty painters worldwide to take part in ‘Premio Combat’ in Livorno Italy, was a Saatchi Online‘Back to Nature’ finalist, and a finalist in the prestigious Clifton’s Art Prize. Krantz’s most recent solo show ‘Plasmo’, held in 2015 at the GallerySmith in Melbourne, was an exploration of alien yet eerily familiar forms and landscapes. Other solo shows include ‘Hypnagogia’ at the Angela Robarts-Bird Gallery in Melbourne, Graydon Gallery and Percolator Gallery in Brisbane, and she has been involved in group exhibitions worldwide including Time Square in New York city, and in the Museo Di Storia Naturale in Italy. Current Artist Statement: I think of my work as organic-psychedelia. They are familiar representations of ecology, but not quite of this world. My process is underpinned by a playful exploration of materials, and questions the role of painter in painting creation. The method of paint delivery to canvas, in random pours, throws and squirts, employs nature to mimic nature. The natural fluidity and reactivity of paint mixtures, is itself alive in it’s own ability to move and mix, playfully creating chaotic patterns and diacritic effects. I often act merely as a facilitator, allowing the paint itself to capture the essence of time and place. It’s a scientific process, executed organically, creating science fictional landscapes and quasi-alien life.
