A WALK IN THE PARK
5 FEBRUARY TO 4 MARCH
OPENING 6 FEBRUARY
This exhibition is a visual story about my journey during and after knee surgery that I went through almost two years ago to replace both my knees. The recovery was not a walk in the park, but I eventually did walk on the beautiful new boardwalk from Noosa Beach to Noosa National Park, almost, with determination, this was my aim and what I was working towards.
This same walk I have since taken several times, but one evening at sunset, I was entranced by the colour reflections of the trees and shadows cast from the foliage and architectural structures of the timber and steel handrails.
From my many photographs taken from the new boardwalk and once again visiting Noosa National Park out to the point, I have compiled several artworks into landscapes, some with simple figures, as my eye sees it.
My paintings usually start with a colour idea, and then evolve into compositions in which colour becomes the primary subject.
Colour alone can be both form and subject, though my works are symbolic of landscape. Colour is often non-naturalistic; a juxtaposition yet complimentary, perhaps a hint of Fauvism. Design is always bold and spontaneous; composition can sometimes indicate a departure from reality.
