Winners – Abstraction 2020

Untitled I (Deliberate Pictures Series) by Natalie Lavelle

$2800 Acrylic and Thread on Canvas 105cm

JUDGES COMMENTS:

Above all other works in the exhibition, this painting connects directly with the origins of Western abstraction from the 1910s and -20s. In so doing, it exhibits lessons learned from early adherents such as Kazimir Malevich and Theo van Doesburg. Echoing Japanese and Chinese calligraphy, Natalie’s single sweeping brush stroke is at once deliberate and controlled — yet has a looseness that provides both movement and tension to the picture. The vertical string-line bisecting the picture plane adds a note of formality and provides a reference against which the viewer might contemplate placement of the large shadowy brush stoke upon the painting’s brilliant white rectangular ground. 

Second Prize

Thereabouts by Helen Creed

$650 91x91cm Acrylic

JUDGES COMMENTS:

This painting is a rare bird — that is, one which works as well hung on a diagonal as it does on the square. Reminiscent of knitting or Indigenous weaving patterns, the tricolour stripes, in progressively darker tones from front to back, give the painting an impression of depth and airiness. The warm tones of Helen’s painting are inviting while the imperfect straight lines provide an elasticity filled with tension. 

Third Prize

Night Market by Kim Lowry

$250 51x61cm Acrylic on Canvas

JUDGES COMMENTS:

Straddling pure abstraction and physical reality, this tonal study of light in relation to objects could only exist in modern times. Devoid of gesture, the flatly painted areas of merged and fragmented shapes play with notions of focus and depth of field in a photographic sense. The modest size of Kim’s painting is appropriate for its humble subject matter and probably wouldn’t have worked as well on a larger scale.

Winners – Members Annual 2020

Best Artwork

Still Life #368 by Laura Phillips

Oil Painting $2000 101x91cm

JUDGES COMMENTS:

This is a successful elaboration of a simple yet engaging idea: an arrangement of rectangles as a foil for organic forms. This painting’s firm sense of design is complemented by an equally rigorous colour scheme. The play of positive and negative shape and decorative pattern across the picture surface is reconciled with well observed, naturalistic detail; the care with which the composition has been developed in no way detracts from the the lyrical energy and sense of freedom in this painting.  

SECTION 1: Painting in Acrylic and Oils

First Prize

Amethyst and Red Lipstick by Kay Kane

Painting in Acrylic and Oils
Oil Painting $4000

JUDGES COMMENTS: Highly developed formal qualities – precise drawing, a firm grasp of the relationships between interconnected planes and a feeling for the structure of the head – make as important a contribution to this compelling portrait as as the vivid characterisation of an individual face.   

Equal Second Prize

Magpies by Michael Augustine

Oil Painting $2000 76x110cms

JUDGES COMMENTS: Sensitively controlled colour harmonies and a close observation of reflected light make this a highly accomplished essay in ‘contre-jour’ luminosity.   

Equal Second Prize

Demolition by Kathleen Dempsey

Acrylic on canvas $700 152x122cms

JUDGES COMMENTS:

This rugged and dramatic painting conveys a real sense of pathos through a bold use of scale to emphasise the monumentality of the subject. Saturated colour and direct handling are consistent with the simple and bold framing of the central motif.  

Third Prize

Sunset Over Canaipa Passage by Abramo Papp

Oil on Linen $1200 106x76cms

JUDGES COMMENTS

A powerful mood is established though simplified forms, clean colour and most importantly an all-pervasive light.  

Highly Commended

The Ginger Plant by Peter Hubbard

Oil Painting $500 54x44cms

JUDGES COMMENTS

An astute juxtaposition of values resulting in a strategic placement of focal points leads the viewer into and around the space of this painting. Informal handling and a vibrant palette convey a sense of delight in everyday things.  

Cleaning Out The Closet by David Fenoglio

Oil on Linen $1800 65x55cms

JUDGES COMMENTS

Firm drawing, a disciplined technique and well observed values make this a solidly constructed, arresting work.  

Commended

Samford South Pine by Mike White

Acrylic on Canvas $600 50x75cms

JUDGES COMMENTS:

An emphatic yet well-managed composition demonstrating a natural affinity for the medium. The expressive range of a saturated palette has been exploited without sacrificing naturalistic effects or a notion of a connection to a specific place.  

Story Bridge By Night by Paul Anthony

Acrylic $300 32x48cm

An original view of this much depicted subject combining firmly constructed planes, a sure instinct for spatial relationships, and a sense of immediacy bring this image to life. 

SECTION 2: Watercolour Painting

First Prize

Nudgee Beach Early by Tony Walker

$850 44x92cms

JUDGES COMMENTS

The confident application of washes and contrasts between the small figures and the broad areas of sky create a strong sense of atmosphere and mood.   

Highly Commended

Fassifern Valley by Greg de Silva 

JUDGES COMMENTS

A fresh, direct treatment, combing a careful selection of the essential elements of the subject and its relationships as well as a confident application of the medium.   

SECTION 3: Photography and Digital

First Prize

Fresh Produce by Alan Innes

Digitally Assembled Drawing $390 50x50cms **SOLD**

JUDGES COMMENTS

A very accomplished and taut essay in two dimensional design revealing a sure instinct for the juxtaposition of shapes, quality of line and distribution of values.   

Highly Commended

Old Museum – Nocturn by Joanne Heath

Photograph $295 53x41cms

JUDGES COMMENTS

The dramatic lighting on this evocative building has been thoughtfully captured.  

No artworks were entered in Section 4: Sculpture/ 3D All Media

SECTION 5: Drawing

First Prize

Remnants by Glen Gillard

Pen and Wash $500 47x57cm

JUDGES COMMENTS

A skilful and sensitive use of the medium to has been used to develop the lively abstract patterns in the subject. Intricate surface detail and carefully stated values contribute to create an air of mystery.  

Cambodian Fishing Village by Kay Kane

Drawing $450 54x33cms

JUDGES COMMENTS

Great economy of means has been used to suggest rather than directly state essential information about space, light and sense of place.   

SECTION 6: 2D Works All Other Media

First Prize

Venice by Christine Groh

Hand Coloured Linocut $300 52x62cms **SOLD**

JUDGES COMMENTS

The graphic technique is used to great effect to convey the charm of Venice and evoke a cheerful, festive mood.

Glenise Clelland

Goddess of Colour by Glenise Clelland 104x85cm Oils
Glenise.Dreaming 91x61cm best -

Before retiring to Noosa North Shore 23 years ago Glenise was a well known and award winning fashion designer of Haute Couture winning Queensland Designer of the Year.

Today she is best known for her strong figurative studies and landscape paintings inspired by many journeys – particularly through the Pacific Islands, PNG and Northern Australia. Her background in fashion and theatre design and her passion for colour, texture and form are evident in all her work today – both figurative and landscape.

Glenise uses colour to express emotion and her canvases and mixed media work vibrate with vitality and life. For 23 years the peace nd tranquility and the everchanging light around her studio at Noosa North Shore was a constant source of inspiration for her expressive canvases. Glenise now works from her studio at Pullenvale, Brisbane.

Glenise has had over 15 solo exhibitions at prestigious galleries in Australia and overseas. Her paintings have been selected four times as a finalist in Tattersalls Landscape Prize. Her paintings are represented in government, corporate and private collections in Australia and overseas. Her paintings have won many awards including the Ian Fairweather memorial Prize and the Caloundra Arts Festival. Three of her Pacific paintings were selected by an international jury for exhibition at the Florence Biennale.

For Glenise, life drawing has alsways been central to her artistic development and has allowed her to process what she sees and feels. Now there are 2 books available with 40 of her black and white and coloured figurative images – LOVES FALLS IN LOVE WITH LOVE and OF LOVING AND SENSUALITIES.

Her colourful book AUSTRALIA Images and Inspiration hass 22 diverse Australian landscapes. The books are available from her website.

Glenise is an active member of the Half Dozen Group Brisbane and the Royal Queensland Art Society.

I have been painting since 2004.  I have always been interested in art.  I took classes from Maree Clarke who was instrumental in teaching me a lot about drawing and colour mixing.  Her influence can still be seen in my work.  She loved Rembrandt and the use of strong dark colours.

I also did part of a TAFE certificate in Visual Arts and Contemporary Craft.

In January 2012 I started the Art Appreciation Group in the Garden City library and continued to run it for five years.  This group Is still going strong.  I was also the RQAS Workshop Coordinator for one year.

My favourite medium is oil and I paint a wide variety of subjects.

Bringing life to a two dimensional depiction of the human figure never fails to amaze me. My paintings and drawings often tell a story – sometimes simple, other times humorous or reflective. I work with acrylics or pastel pencil.
