Artworks for long wall to David’s office. Notes on each artist and work-
Christian Thompson, Loom Aura 2, 2018, C-type print on Fuji Pearl metallic paper, comprising four panels: 120 x 120 (each), total framed dimensions: 250 x 250cm.
Christian Thompson, Loom Aura 1, 2018, C-type print on Fuji Pearl metallic paper, comprising four panels: 120 x 120 (each), total framed dimensions: 250 x 250cm.
Christian Thompson is a contemporary indigenous artist who has a great reputation nationally and internationally. I have described these works in considering one for the entry wall. They are very bold and colourful work, which would make a strong statement on this wall.
Lara Merrett, Forget me, 2021, Acrylic and ink on linen, 183 x 174
Lara Merrett, Fiddlesticks, Acrylic and ink on linen, 183 x 174cm
Lara Merrett, Sit down and glow, 2022, Acrylic and ink on linen, 183 x 274cm
Lara is a mid-career artist, whose immersive works draw the viewer in with their watery pools. These are great works for the hallway- Forget me has already been sold. I propose we commission Lara to make another one.
Camille Hannah Option 1 Kamma and Liuida, 2022. (Lilac and Yellow work – Sorry I could not get individual images as these are new works!) Oil and bronze dust on polyester silk 180 x 150 We could commission Camille to do one more work for the wall. These are Camille’s new works. They are more subtle in colour, but really sensual and luxurious to view (hard to find the right words to describe them). They would be really beautiful works for the hallway.
Option 2 These are older works. We could use these works or commission new works from Camille. For these works, Camille has painted on the back of Perspex. These works are also sensual and textural, as well as having a lot of movement. Great works to walk down a hallway with. Crush, 2019 Oil on plexiglass, framed 178.5 x 148.5 cm
Achilles et Briseis, 2019, oil on plexiglass 175 x 175 cm
SASS, 2018, Oil and synthetic polymer paint on plexiglass, 180 x 150 cm
Judith Wright Covid Carnivale (3) 2020, Acrylic on japanese paper, 200 x 200 cm
Judith Wright is a senior artist. Her works are often about the body and its relationships to other animate and inanimate presences, as well as the fluidity between the conscious and unconscious mind. These are more psychological works, quite organic, as different options for this wall.
Judith Wright, Covid Carnivale (4), 2020 Acrylic on japanese paper, 200 x 200 cm
Judith Wright, Covid Carnivale (1), 2020, Acrylic on japanese paper, 200 x 200 cm
