Small Excavations

'Thought bubbles, vague ideas floating on the edges of consciousness – unreachable
through forced thinking or writing – often form themselves when one lets the
materials be guided by an unthinking hand.

These small works form part of a series made in 2015 exhibited in my solo exhibition
Cycladic at Langford120. They materialised through my not fussing about ‘what to
do next’. Of course, the starting point is always a vague idea around a broad topic
and the intention is always to use whatever motifs eventuate as preparatory works that
will, hopefully, inform larger paintings.

I don’t usually exhibit these precursor works but in this instance they appeared
independent from but linked to what flowed from them so rather than destroy them –
which is what I normally do – I decided to show them along with their genealogical
counterparts.' Wilma Tabacco, August 2021

The cubic form (cube, square, rectangle) constitutes a constraint of my work, which is at the same time its formal framework, constantly transgressed, to invest the space, which is the real subject of my creations.

I introduce nevertheless a new element of transformation, which is the act of folding. Thus the flat forms become three-dimensional.

Folding has been used throughout the history of art from antiquity to the present day. Initially used in the representation of the body, but also in the representation of space, currently present in architecture, sculpture, painting as such.

I use it in a minimal way, to initiate the movement and thus the volume, and to introduce the reverse of the right side, and the infinity of the action of unfolding.

Irene Barberis @ Sol LeWitt Chester Studio, USA, 2019. The series of works here are a direct response to the thirteen music tapes that the late Sol LeWitt left in his studio and were played again by me as I responded to his space in tandem with our long friendship. The Series titled: #Compositions, #Composer and #Intervals explore in this context the relationship of colour, music, location, movement and mapping through both the lens of a visual artist and the somatic responses of a classically trained dancer. The exhibition Choreographing Colour 2021, becomes part of a lineage of exhibitions and works investigating ‘Reading the Space’, which commenced through The Global Centre for Drawing and its international projects in 2001.

My art attempts to interpret my personal approach to abstraction, acquired from the innate complexities and layers inherited from my Italian heritage. The work hinges on the philosophical and poetic associations of the single-coloured artwork termed the ‘Monochrome’- a recent occurrence of twentieth-century art. My use of colour sometimes combined with form attempts to reveal a range of interpretative possibilities. I am attracted to the notion of nothingness or the void and how some hues may behold, a moment of silence, quiet, an ending or death. The textural hand manipulation and layering of the surface expose the raw materials used to uncover the surface palimpsest and the artwork’s subconscious narrative, through which the exposure of the artwork’s skeletal structures and layers are revealed.

Anna Caione is currently undertaking a PhD in Fine Arts and holds a Master of Arts by Research Monash University, Bachelor of Education in Visual Arts from Melbourne University and completed a Diploma of Fine Arts, Accademia Albertina, Turin, Italy. Anna has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions her work is held in corporate and private collections in Australia, Italy and Ireland.

Suzie Idiens is interested in the subjective nature of perception and the paradox that arises when viewing reductive abstract art - the effects are self-referential and rational while simultaneously evoking a visceral experience. By methodically questioning the effects of adjusting geometric form, repeatedly manipulating its shape or frontal plane, and restricting the use of applied colour, she asks how the sum of these actions will impact the viewer's experience.

Stolen Geometry

'On a clear autumn day, I walk along a cypress-lined ridge into a garden filled with a riotous discord of roses, marigolds, dahlias and zinnias. Sunlight glints on the water jets of rows of fountains. I walk on paths patterned with inlaid stones and continue on to find myself inside the richly tessellated surfaces of the Nasrid Palace. These walls within the red fortress, El Alhambra, in Granada, Spain are covered with the geometric pattern.

My works are informed by stolen geometry from these gardens of love that I continue to visit in my dreams.' Susan Buret, July 2021

'I make paintings and take photographs of the urban environment.

I am interested in glitch, fracture and malfunction, particularly within regimented and meditative processes.

As John Cage said, "I welcome whatever happens next."'

‘Conceptually non objective, my work explores sensory stimuli such as water, and while material driven, it also examines psychological space informed by color field, geometric abstraction, pattern movement, and shapes and colors I find in nature and our built environment. I think of color as a cornucopia of visual pleasure. It is light but also stimulates an array of emotions that shape our perceptions of an ever-changing environment.’ Suzan Shutan

Suzan Shutan received a BFA from California Institute of the Arts, Valencia, CA, and a MFA from Rutgers University Mason Gross, NJ. Her work has been shown throughout the United States, South America, Eastern & Central Europe, Australia and in 23 solo exhibits and 190 group exhibitions.

Suzan has taught at RISD, University of Massachusetts Amherst, University of Nebraska, Quinnipiac University and continues to teach Sculpture at Housatonic Community College and with low residency MFA students in programs including Lesley College at Harvard, MA. www.suzanshutan.com
