For this month’s Reading Group we cannot get together and discuss … but we can still have a look at some art online.
Use the button below to go to an interactive padlet site. Where you can add comments.
If that doesn’t work (still learning folks) then use the bottom button to go to a page that you can read and follow links to other websites. But for comments see below.
Comments can be sent to movingcreature@gmail.com and I will post them all up by Friday 17th April.
Comments from Gaby Falconer :
“I am interested in the layers in this work and am looking forward to seeing some of Robyn's work in person.”
“Thanks for sharing such beautiful works by 3 Tasmanian artists. It is inspiring to see how differently these artists approach the Tasmanian coastline and the variety of atmospheres and emotions that they are able to express. I might even get my watercolours out and do a little painting at Lewisham over the next few days.
Thanks John”
Comments from John Robinson
“I also have enjoyed looking at 3 artists working with our local coastlines. I enjoyed looking at the different styles and approaches from each of the artists. As a printmaker I am drawn to Robyn’s approach of using a repetitive element within the work and varying up the colours used. I found that both Zoe and Jock were being repeitive in a different way, whilst some of the subject matter is the same or similar Zoe’s wide coarse brush strokes served to abstract the images, I enjoyed trying to recognise some of the coastline that she has painted. After watching the video of Jock speaking about his work and who and what has influenced him I returned to the images of his work and noticed that some of the images were identical in subject matter but painted in different colours reflecting the different times of day. I also noticed the paring down of the image where at first glance I thought that they were much more detailed. I am looking forward to seeing some of the work of all three artist in the flesh sometime in the future.”
