Three prize-winning abstract artists from Barracks Art Studios Thirroul will unite for an exhibition at Project Contemporary Artspace in May.
David Hull studied art in England and Canada. He has exhibited widely, as well as teaching drawing and painting for 28 years and helping to establish the School of Contemporary Arts at the University of Western Sydney.
“The sounds of a place and the interactions of humankind with place have been central to my work,” says David. “My approach is free improvisation, allowing processes to determine their own outcome that gives an authenticity to the work.”
Lyndon Keene also studied art in England but has lived mostly in Aotearoa New Zealand. He moved to Australia in 2015.
“I’m in awe of nature and my landscape-based abstracts aim to capture something of its poetry,” says Lyndon. “My approach is more about discovering than about making – reimagining the forms, colours and textures of remembered landscapes to find intuitively a hybrid kind of order that resonates.”
Judy Bourke’s diverse art practice includes prints, sculptures, artist’s books and textiles. “I am inspired by women’s achievements, family interactions, climate change, relationships, community events, found materials, colour, collections of objects and the patterns of seascapes and landscapes. I try to find the most appropriate media to express my ideas.”
Their exhibition, with the minimalist title 3, runs from Wednesday, May 15 until Sunday, May 26 at Project Contemporary Artspace, 255 Keira St, Wollongong. Gallery hours: Wed-Friday 11am-6pm, weekends 10am-4pm.
3 opens on Friday, May 17 at 6pm.
