DIANA PEEL | IMPASTO FLORAL DELIGHTS
Auckland based artist Diana Peel creates impactful floral impasto paintings that transform simple and refined shapes into dramatic scenery of graceful forms, brilliant colours and texture. To create her work, Peel uses a palette knife rather than a brush. She drags and pulls her paint over the canvas, by not over working the marks she retains gestures in the luminous oil paint giving her surfaces a tactility and energy. Lately she has been finishing her pieces with gestural additions in spray paint and oil stick, adding texture and depth to the work. We are pleased to release new larger scale works by Diana Peel just in time for Spring. View new works by Diana Peel here |
MARISKA DE JAGER | CONNECTIONS IN CLAY
Mariska De Jager produces contemplative figurative sculptures that explore the human condition- love, hope, struggles and dreams. Through the depiction of the subtleties of a figure's pose, from the lines of the eyes, to the position of the shoulders; she aims to capture a sense of mood and emotion. A first glance at her work may lead you to think these are bronze sculptures, but in fact each piece is built by hand, sculpted individually with a paperclay, not with a mold. As such, every piece is unique. After they have dried she sands the work and fires them to 1100‘C. Her glazes offer a unique patina, slight metallic lustres and an alloy hue which gives the look of bronze. View new work by Mariska De Jager here |
