SOURCE MATERIAL

SOURCE MATERIAL: 

• The foundational materials from which something is derived or created.
• The initial content, ideas or information that is transformed and/or built upon.
• Essentially, it’s the starting point or basis for a new work

The four painters in this Exhibition create their paintings from sources they have each mined over several years as working artists. All search for ideas in the matrix of life as we live it in the 21st. century, often guided by the execution of painting itself and by the History of Art.  While personal and family history and a sense of place may inform one painter, natural processes, often ignored or hidden may inform another.  Social Issues, Climate Change and Technological Disasters are central and journalistic images from mass media and the internet are also central concerns. Different painting media, Acrylic, Oil. Watercolour and Mixed Media are utilized 

PARTICIPATING ARTISTS: Simone Labuschagne, Paulette Melanson, Barbara Brown Conrod and Anthony Clementi.
