Deidre Maree:
The
subject of this exhibition is the medium.
The concept is to record an investigation into oil paint, and to
acknowledge that the process of exploration and discovery is ongoing. The painted solution to a visual reference
will take different forms along my painting journey. Through constant dialogue
with the medium a rich, truly crafted, painterly surface is sought.
Since the work is figurative, the stimuli for
each of these investigative pieces are the photographs taken and the
interpretations and memories of what has been seen. The very personal act of
witnessing and recording is then expressed through a manipulation of
compositional elements to demonstrate a response to space, colour, light and
form. By representing the natural and emotional world with dignity the painting
becomes a description of both the physical and metaphysical, and a reflection
of a state of being.
Suraya Tewary:
My
body of work is a seemingly material one of images and moments from everyday
life – a string of visual patterns of my surroundings, of the space, colour,
light and form which shapes and informs my emotional landscape through the
medium of paint.
It is
however, a desire to physically and emotionally examine the image and subject
matter, and find a way through my process of photographing, editing and paint
application to convey the emotive stimuli behind the memory of these images.
My work
aims to create a space for balance, contemplation and self-observation. A space
for momentary stillness and immersion, when noise and voices recede and we are
left bare, with the simple act of observation and reflection.
