ARTWORK 1
TITLE
Apocalyptic breakdown (Somewhere over the rainbow)
1ST PRIZE ACQUISITIVE AUD$10,000
ARTIST
Paul White
DESCRIPTION
My work, a coloured pencil on paper drawing comes from a photo that I took on Sunset Blvd in Los Angeles many years ago. All of my drawings come from images that I have photographed and go into a large database of images that I draw upon. This image of a 1970’s van surreally parked on the side of the road covered in an array of random objects and likely acting as a mobile home seemed particularly pertinent in times of covid affected life. I am interested in car culture and this image reminded me of post apocalyptic movies such as Mad Max, or Death Race 2000 where the vehicle acts as a mode of survival. More specifically the van is reminiscent of the Scooby Doo mystery machine, the A team van and custom vans of the 1970’s where these utility vehicles are transformed into dream machines. This particular van reveals layers of time through its build up of flotsam and jetsam and many layers of paint and remnant signage. Its survival and the act of its personal modifications suggest a hope for the future.

I am interested in revealing these elements of the everyday which are in decay and are signifiers of time passing and relish in pausing this moment through obsessive investigation, interrogation and mark making. My use of pencil on paper in a meticulous and highly detailed manner is not only an attempt to gather every degree of detail from the image by conducting a thorough investigation into it, but also through this time consuming process, a way of slowing down the world.

I love the Japanese technique of shibori, which is manipulating cloth in different ways before soaking in an indigo bath. This has been an inspiration in colour and texture of the painted background I also really admire Op Art in art and fashion, and I have used concentric circles to add contrast to the texture of the paint.

Gemini
SALE PRICE USD$750
ARTIST
Kelsey Ryan
DESCRIPTION
Three pieces of thinly cut 2x4’s make up the two parts of Gemini. On the left side, the light is enclosed within the three pieces of wood, causing it to glow a soft pink. On the right side is the opposite configuration, with the light exposed. When looking at the two side by side, the left feels comfortable, the warm glow bringing the viewer in. However, the piece on the right side is bright and jarring to look at, causing the viewer to squint and want to look away. One side is much more palatable and easier on the senses than the other. The inspiration for this piece came from analyzing the two sides of myself. The inner and the outer being equally the same as they are opposite, in the same way the two forms are the same, but also opposite. I believe that every person has these two sides because I know this to be true about myself. There is one side that I present to the world, and one side I chose to hide away. The side I present to the world is soft and conforming, the other is loud and aggressive. I hope to one day merge the two and see myself as one cohesive piece, rather than two opposite sides. Balanced, but still opposite.

DESCRIPTION
I attempt to not make my art as a precious object, but rather a conversation with composition. I try and oscillate between the familiar and exotic with internal contradictions and musings. However, intimate the subject, its appearance is never affixed to the exterior or interior, but hopefully ferments into a bucolic struggle of the two. In short, a lament for transience.
