Artworks for entry wall to office on right. Notes on each artist and workChristian 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 is an indigenous artist, who has had great success both nationally and internationally. His works are bold, colourful, and usually include himself in them- this particular series is a really important one with the native flowers – you can see Christian’s eyes in the top two panels. They are powerful works and very engaging for visitors.
Louise Forthun Embossed, 2018, Synthetic Polymer on linen, 220 x 312cm
Louise is a mid-career artist, working on the architectural urban landscape as an enduring theme for her artistic practice. I included this work as a more gentle, discreet option, really working well in an office environment.
John Aslanidis, Sonic Network no 14, 2014, Oil and acrylic on canvas, 305 x 488 x 2.5cm.
John’s work has a wonderful relationship with sound and movement. He has made large work for Hamer Hall and Ovolo hotels (a few examples). This work would be really enticing for visitors to look at while waiting, as it moves, and things pop out in a subtle way. This work is too big for the entry wall; however, I propose we commission him to make a similar work with similar colours as these are gentle tones for visitors.
Alexander Mc Kenzie Nights at La Mamounia, 2020 Oil on linen 153 x 244 cm
I have included Alexander’s work a few times in my options, as they are beautiful, restful, yet still powerful works. He is an artist with a large collector base, who sells extremely well. This is reflected in his higher pricing for a mid-career artist.
Andre Hemer Scenes from a Voyage (November 10, 13:22 CEST), 2021, acrylic and pigment on canvas, 180 x 240 cm (diptych)
Andre’s works are also particularly interesting for the visitor, because of his process. Hemer scans physical objects – three-dimensional paint forms or found objects such as flora – en plein air to capture a version of the object, and its surrounding exposure to the natural elements of the sun, sky and lights from the scanner. He then recomposes them, overpaints, and then overlays with threedimensional sculptural elements. Andre is not as established as the previous artists but very fashionable right now.
Marc Freeman, Cloudbuster #12-16, 2018, Canvas, acrylic, enamel and digital print on linen, 80 x 65 cm
Marc’s works are quite design-focused and engaging. I thought that having a group of works might be a different option for the entry. He is not as senior as the other artists above, and the work is light and playful. Simon Barlow, Peonies 2521, 2021, Oil on canvas,
153 x 298cm
Simon is an emerging artist that makes beautiful flower paintings. These are gentle, welcoming works.
Petra Cortright, Rockerfeller+Speed+Up+Start+Menu, 2019, Digital painting on Belgian linen, 119 x 233cm.
Petra Cortright is a well-established American artist, who lives in LA. She is well known for her digitally conceived artworks which exist in videos, paintings as well as projections and prints. She is considered one of the foremost artists of the ‘Net Art’ and ‘Post Internet” movements. This is a sustantial piece of avant-garde art, which is visually intricate and appealing.

Petra Cortright Petra Cortright was born in Santa Barbara in 1986 and currently lives and works in Los Angeles, CA. Considered one of the foremost artists of the ‘Net Art’ and ‘Post Internet’ movements, Cortright is known for her digitally conceived artworks that exist in many forms including YouTube videos, digital paintings, as well as projections and prints on archival and metallic surfaces. Her multifaceted work presents a critical examination and questioning of the dawn of technology and its profound effects on aesthetics, culture and society. In her early work, Cortright recorded herself performing simple gestures and frequently employed ‘selfie’ filters or effects before uploading her videos to YouTube. Cortright’s videos have been subject to much critical debate and have since secured her collaborations with many creatives, including the fashion designer Stella McCartney. Solely created and experienced via the medium of the internet, Cortright’s early work shares affinities with the ‘Net Art’ movement, a political landmark in Internet art history whose precursors include the international Fluxus and Avant-Pop movements. Cortright later combined digital innovations with traditional techniques to craft digital paintings. Often simulating brushwork and figurative forms through digital software, Cortright has unveiled how digital strategies can be used to create objects that exist in the real world, subsequently securing her a central role in the ‘Post Internet’ movement. To create her intricate paintings, Cortright embarks on a process of which she describes as ‘breaking down photography’. Cortright garners images from sources such as Pinterest and Google Images to create a digital file. She later manipulates these images on Photoshop by layering them on top of one another. These layers are later transferred onto substrates such as aluminium, linen, paper and acrylic sheets through industrial print processes. The results are expressive floral paintings that bear semblance to Impressionist and Abstract artworks, invoking a unique fusion of impersonal mass production and personal gesture. As an artist who takes on the role of painter, graphic designer, editor and producer, Cortright has created an immensely rich and diverse body of work to date. From the performative and digital to the painterly and tangible, Cortright’s artworks critically engage with a wider dialogue concerning performative cultures of online consumption, connectivity, fabrication and multimediality.

Simon Barlow Profile My life as a professional artist began at the age of 16, when I sold a painting of a Peregrine Falcon to a school friend's parents, while at boarding school in the Zimbabwean bush. Inspired by an artist friend, our mutual hobby of egg-collecting, and a love of all things natural, bird painting soon occupied me more than school work. Even after graduating from art school with a diploma in graphic design, painting birds was preferable to working in an advertising agency. Living and working in the Cape, South Africa, I promoted my work holding solo exhibitions, which attracted commissions and established my career in the genre. The highlight of that period was the publication of Gamebirds of Southern Africa, now in it's second edition, and described here. After moving to Australia, I changed my genre and medium. From delicate birds painted with fine sable brushes in watercolour, I moved to painting large floral studies with bristle brushes and acrylic. This was prompted not only by the financial necessities of living in a new country and working in a different market, but it was the perfect opportunity to start 'painting'- which I had always wanted to do. Since then, painting mainly floral studies has been the vehicle via which I have taught myself to paint on canvas. The subject was still of a natural nature, providing me with a vast choice of subjects, and had wide appeal. I have approached the floral compositions as landscapes, rather than studies of arrangements. I have found myself drawn into the complex and varied colours, textures and structures that make up these compositions. Using dramatic lighting and a large format, and inspired by artists like the Baroque artist Caravaggio, these paintings express the wonder these extentions of the plant kingdom hold for me. Although I work in a representative, or realistic style, flowers are quite surreal to me. The'organs of reproduction' of plants, they sprout, bloom and die, representing the cycle of life and every earthly organism's mortality. I have held several self promoted exhibitions in Sydney since 2001, completed commissions and promote my work online. I am represented by The Morpeth Gallery-Morpeth NSW, Artnuvo Gallery-Buderim QLD, and Rochfort GalleryNorth Sydney.
