The Australian Watercolour Muster Biennale - 2023 Catalogue

The Australian Watercolour Muster Biennale - 2023

This is the 5th Australian Watercolour Muster - commencing in 2019 - The ‘Muster’ has engaged Artists from across Australia and had the honour of taking 153 Artists Works to Italy over the five years, to showcase and share their Work with the World.

Artists who have been able to travel with their Work have now become ambassadors and representatives for Brands, they now run Workshops around the globe and as individual Artists have grown their Studio practices and made many friends - we are proud to continue this tradition in 2023!

Our goal is to create a broader platform for Australian Artists to engage with the International Arts Community and specifically, for the Watercolour community, to take their Work into new and creative fields of endeavour, creating opportunities to share studios and exhibition spaces where possible in this World.

The Australian Watercolour Muster is part of a network from over 80 Countries - engaged and linked together via the FabrianoInAquarello - Italy Art Symposium - held annually in Italy by Artist and Curator Anna Massinissa for over the last 14 years, hats off to you Anna.

Curator - Wyn Vogel

Curator - Wyn Vogel

Wyn has always juggled her professional and creative life managing studios alongside of her desk and computer – with Studios in recent years in Victoria and Queensland – Australia, Wyn loves to explore the essence of her world – the colours, shapes and light that evolve around her.

Wyn has been the invited Leader of The Australian Watercolour Delegation to FabrianoInAcquarello – Italy, since 2018 with her watercolour work showcased as part of the Finalists selected to Exhibit their work in Italy with Artists from over 80 Countries.

As a part of this involvement with the international Art Community Wyn commenced the ‘Australian Watercolour Muster’ to provide a platform for Australia Artists to engage and commence their international experience at a local level.

Wyn has exhibited her watercolour work in joint Exhibitions in Coquelles and Gaillon – France and delivered Watercolour Workshops in Gaillon 2018 and the French Village of Saint-MaixmeHauterive – 2019 and was part of an International Delegation – Exhibiting at the 6th Silk Road International Art Exhibition in Xi’an China in September – 2019, and demonstrating at the Shaanxi Provincial Museum of Fine Arts during that visit.

Juror - Phillip Edwards

Phillip Edwards is a Victorian artist who studied Fine arts painting (Oils) at the Victorian College of the Arts in the early 90’s.

Over the past 6 years he has taken up watercolour, producing large scale majestic landscapes of Mt Buffalo (central Victoria) and currently southern Tasmania.

Phillip was awarded the Trustees watercolour prize at the 2018 Wynne prize and has since been made a member of the AWI Australian Watercolour Institute. He has been a finalist in many Australian art prizes including The Calleen, Flow and the Lester portrait prize at the Gallery of WA.

Exhibiting Mt Buffalo paintings ‘The mountains quiet heart’ was Phillip’s first public institution show via Benella Art gallery in 2020.

With 30 years art practice with multiple solo shows and group exhibitions he continues to refine both his painting and sculptural practice.

Philip has had 2 solo exhibitions in 2023 with Sydney (Art Atrium) in February and his first solo show with Australian Galleries in Melbourne in July 2023.

Phillip also has a dedicated gallery at Bullarto (Bullarto Gallery) between Daylesford and Trentham in Victoria’s spa country. Phillip is dedicated to the refinements of his watercolour technique and aims to lift the stature of the medium within the fine art world.

Juror - Muriel Buthier-Chartrain (France)

‘I paint my silences: the long, short, necessary, those that hurt, calm or that anguish, those that question or amaze, I paint what I conceal... I paint with the salt water of my soul.’

Painting is the work of a whole life, it’s an integral part of the life of the painter... It’s the time and the work that allows his art to be developed. Only time fashions the painter and his artistic path is not enough valued... Probably due to the time of ephemer, ready-made and consumerism.

Born in 1961, I am painting since 1981. Passion became my work, I am a full time professionnal painter.

If I would be able to speak to the young 20 years old woman I was when I began, I would say to her that I am very proud of our artistic independance and of our artistic path with more than 50 solo exhibitions, in France, but also several times in Sweden and in Australia.

My work has been presented and awarded in numerous collective exhibitions (almost 200), being invited or selected - In France, in Europe (Belgium, Sweden, Spain, Italy, Germany, Greece, Lithuania, Slovenia) and other parts of the world as, in China, Canada, Chile and Australia where I had been invited for an artistic residency.

My paintings are also showed in galleries. More recently, my work has been choosen by Architects & Interior Designers for beautiful projects!

Member painter & Member of management board of French Watercolour Society (SFA) | Honour member of Canadian Watercolour Society (SCA) | Member of the artistic and cultural network ERYA. Currently living and working in France, I am also a watercolor teacher.
