Just received the latest edition of "Artist Profile" and found it jam packed full of essential readin g about contemporary artists and upcoming exhibitions situated at various galleries around Australia. i chose two of these to highlight on my blog. Julie Harris is a landscape painter of series, her 'walkthrough' concept consolidates her process and experience into large compositions with multiple panels.
"There is an intiuitive process with the washing away and reapplying paint, and when its working and reaching some sort of logic it becomes the opposite of chance." Julie Harris
Her acrylic works simulate watercolour in appearance as does her works with oil and inks on paper. A weathering effect completes the 'feel and emotion' of the landscape which is experienced by walking through the series of panels.
Julie's exhibition is ego'pop 15/9/2011 - 8/10/2011 Pelotin, Sydney www.peleton.net.au

John Olsen is the second artist I would like to feature. A master watercolourist, he is reknowned for making intuitive and instinctive marks that arrive at their own configuration. john's latest exhibition is about lake Eyre. he agrees there is a resurgence of interest in landscapes because of climate change but he found stimulation in
painting Lake Eyre because it is the lowest point below sea level in Australia and it is now full of water, wildlife , which is rare....its definitely unfinished business. A network of coloured veins of earth coloured piments suggest a type of fleetingness, a fragility of the landscape, a delicate balance.
"The quest for perfection just leads to frustration. It's best to be human, to have that sensibility to say 'I feel and therefore I am.'
John's exhibition is Lake Eyre until 28/8/2011 at Tim Olsen Gallery
