Opening tomorrow Bethany Saab’s much anticipated solo show!

Bethany has no formal training in painting and having been painting for less than a year, her style is swiftly evolving. Bethany was exposed to art early, watching her late mother, Anne, paint landscapes in oils in her home studio in central Australia. Anne’s brushes and palette knives form part of Bethany’s tools for work. Originally training as a psychologist, Bethany has worked in mental health for over a decade as well as having a few years as a self-taught floral designer as one half of Wagga Wagga-based micro flower farm and studio florist Little Triffids Flowers.

Bethany’s style is tight, detailed and hard-edged and despite the frequent inclusion of high-contrast elements or punchy colour palettes, the work is harmonious with a sense of calm. Predominantly still life, Bethany’s paintings have a strong sense of time and place. ”

The sun is shining and it’s been great to open our doors and welcome so many through today to enjoy our Summer Salon. Deborah Hunter Mills works have been greatly admired with many reminiscing of kayaking adventures in the landscapes she has beautifully depicted.

“This series of works could be titled ‘Home and Away’. I was lucky enough to travel to Patagonia before Covid struck, and was greatly inspired by the magnificent landscapes there. Since returning I have been inspired by waterscapes close to home in Pittwater and beyond.”

Deborah has been a finalist in The Salon des Refusees, The Paddington Art Prize, the Bruny Island Art Prize, Little Things Art Prize, the Linden Post Card Show and others. She trained in Textiles at Goldsmiths College, London, but since coming to Australia has been painting landscapes, with many of her works depicting seascapes and waterways. Last year she was an artist-in-residence at Chris O’Brien Lifehouse.

Come through this week to view or find these works online.

Our Summer Salon is open this Tuesday and Tym Yee’s new Bird series is on view. Available online now!

“This collection of native bird paintings was inspired by the broad cast of feathery visitors who like to perch on my apartment balcony railing. Cockatoos, magpies, mynas, kookaburras, rainbow lorikeets and rosellas often drop in like house guests, dancing about, laughing and only occasionally tearing up the place. Their intriguing characters and exaggerated gestures remind me of past dinner parties and help me to imagine future ones, where friends share stories and captivate rooms”.

MIKE STANIFORD is a contemporary Australian artist

MIKE STANIFORD is a contemporary Australian artist, inspired by the bold colours of nature and the celebration of its shapes and forms. Mike’s paintings are intuitive and gestural and seek to reinterpret the landscape, to distill down its complexity and eliminate the unnecessary.

“My paintings are a result of engaging in a dialogue with the landscape. Refiguring the geographical elements, playing with the compositional structure and keeping the geometry rich and varied, regardless of the literal proportion of form. All of my paintings start with drawings made on location, sometimes quick, intuitive sketches, others longer, more observed studies. I don’t want to give you a formal view but aim, through actions that are deliberately spontaneous, to make shapes and colour paramount in my work. To give you a sense of the emotion as well as the topography of the land."

Available online as part of our Summer Salon.

ALIZON GRAY will have a collection of six works 'heart of snow' included in our Summer Salon. Alizon describes her works as illusionary landscapes that resonate with each person differently.

The works painted for ‘heart of snow’ at MRNB were made in 2020 during Melbourne’s extreme lock down period. On a personal level, painting during this time allowed me to create my own space beyond the limits of the newly imposed borders. Usually I don’t listen to music when I paint, but this year music has made its way into the studio and since then I have rarely turned it off. The titles for the works in this exhibition are drawn from some of the songs that were played on repeat and led me to reflect on my own time outside of city limits and within a more spatial landscape (either through their lyrics or titles).

MATILDA DUMAS will have a mini release of works 'A Good Drying Day' from the 9th January. A deeply personal series, Matilda describes its inception as an extension of her landscape works during a forced holiday in the country that became so much more.

"Long story short, covid has found me not in London as planned, but in country NSW; painting what is about me, the farmland of my family and the remnants of bush, both indigenous and exotic. My clotheslines started as an extension of my landscape painting but with time to think and read in lockdown, to me they seemed to embody much more. They came to symbolise occupation, not only of a house telling you someone is at home, but a broader occupation. The occupation of Australia. The washing hanging on the line mimicking bodies against the backdrop of cultivated farmland. The shadows are cast long and strange across the grass and the words and connotations to do with washing are oddly appropriate to our treatment of this country's first people. On one level they are nostalgic domestic images with connotations of a simple life, a domestic ritual, a washing away of dirt but somehow even with that nostalgia they symbolise a lot more.”

Available 9th January.
