Debra Dawes: Complete?

As with all of Dawes’s paintings the trace of the artists hand is important to the experience of the finished work. From a distance it may appear hard edge, flat and optical, but up close the brushstrokes and mark making are deliberately apparent and the works are obviously hand painted with oil on canvas.

Helen Eager: VIF image

Helen Eager: VIF

Helen Eager's work over four decades reveals an ongoing preoccupation with light and scale, characterised by simplified geometric forms and vibrant colour. She creates dynamic compositions of endless variation and infinite complexity, focussing on the triangle as a vehicle for her formal explorations.

Karen Aspden: Outer spice

This high-keyed, optically thrilling painting was the first work by Aspden to be acquired by the Art Gallery of New South Wales. In this ‘new abstraction’, concerns of subject and social or geographical context were subsumed by the purist, formal qualities of the work.

Robert Owen: Cadence #1 (a short span of time)

Owen's very personal response to the imprecise science of predicting the weather was to devise his own chart to record his emotions over an 80-day period. 'I thought if they can measure atmosphere, I must be able to measure emotions. So using a colour tabulation, I intuitively picked how I felt every half hour during the day.'
