"Decipher" - Grace Kotze, Deidre Maree, and Suraya Tewary
"Decipher" showcases
the paintings of Deidre Maree, Suraya Tewary and
Grace Kotze. Three artists who share their emotional grappling
through the unraveling of paint using subjects such as interiors,
rubbish dumps, the human form, rural and urban landscapes.
A common visual and
emotional exploration brings these three women together, where each artist
approaches painting from the position of a student. Thus allowing the process
to dominate rather than depict a predetermined conclusion, resulting in
paintings that do not preach of the defined, but question and explore.
A further link is the
artist’s love and exploration of paint as a subject. All three women share
a delight and curiosity about the language that
paint’s properties and application holds. Resulting in the content of some
works being more about the language of paint, rather than the illustrative
role of a painting.
Ultimately the show portrays three artists’ personal journeys to understand, decipher and interpret using paint as a visual conduit making their individual voices heard.
