About: My practice currently centres around drawing and works made with and on paper. The mediums I use are graphite, charcoal, ink, plaster and acrylic.

 

My practice also includes life drawing, and this is often the starting point for artwork.

 

The subject matter for my work is figurative and usually incorporates human forms and botanic elements.


I am interested in representing the constant movement and change which I see in natural environments, and the nuances of meaning created by human gesture.

Name: Julie Excell

Title of work 1:
Sheep

Medium/size: Sheep - Stoneware clay, 10cm x 19cm x 8cm
Price: $250


Title of work 2: Flo

Medium/size: Stoneware/ceramic, 36cm high x 19 cm wide 

Price: $300


About: 
My motivation as a ceramic artist is to explore the tactile materiality of clay through hand building to create finely balanced asymmetrical objects where form is harmoniously integrated with surface.

 

Over the winter months I have worked on a series of small, handheld sculptures.

 

Sheep (top image) is one of the few pieces that survived a lengthy making process culminating with a saggar firing in my electric kiln.

 

This alternative approach to firing my work is a deliberate aesthetic choice to maintain the materiality of raw clay during its transformation into ceramic.

 

Unglazed, the unique surface enhancements are entirely derived from the interaction of combustibles with fire, inviting a palpable response from the viewer. 

Flo (bottom image): This ceramic vessel is the result of recent experiments in creating surface texture by layering glazes with their raw materials.

 

Subsequent high temperature firings caused the materials to fuse into a frosted amalgam of melted porcelain, feldspar and kaolin.

 

Its title, “Flo”, meaning layer in Old Norse, references the cracks, fissures and glassy green depths.

Name: Michael Knight

Title of work 1: Jetty, Bicton
Medium/size: Oil on canvas, 111cm x 136cm

Price: $7,000

Title of work 2: Lighthouse, North Mole, Fremantle
Medium/size: Oil on canvas, 50.5 cm x 71cm

Price: $2,200


About Jetty: This painting is the second version of the same view but more focused on the jetty aspect of the composition.


I was drawn to this scene because of the unique bent shape of the jetty and the way it separated the picture plane.

 

This combined with the shimmering mood of the place has identified my love of East Fremantle and the places nearby.

About North Mole: The North Mole Lighthouse painting is one of two that I have been working on at this time.

 

I was first attracted to the scene by the strong colours of the lighthouse.

Also, with the challenge of making a composition dependent on one dominant element.

In this work I was going after an atmospheric effect or a glimpse-like effect in order to try and express the blinding and fleeting light of Fremantle in the summer. This combined with the symbolic meanings associated with lighthouses gave me the inspiration to make this work.

Title of work 2: Tell Me
Medium/size: Mixed medium on paper, 42.5cm x 42.5cm
(mounted and framed)

About: I studied visual arts and art teaching in WA and then furthered my studies in painting in Italy.

 

I have exhibited in solo, and group shows overseas and in galleries and venues around Perth.

 

I now live and work in my studio in Fremantle.

 

I am currently inspired by my daily walks in Booyembarra Park, an oasis of bushland in suburbia, home to many birds and a resident group of ravens.

 

Spring morning: In this work I hope to capture that moment when, deep in thought as I walked, I realised I was being watched!


I looked up to discover that I was indeed not the observer but the observed, an object of intense scrutiny by a watchful raven, who like me, was enjoying the peace and solitude of the bush in that moment.

 

Tell Me: The sociability of this group of ravens inspired me to explore in this work the story of how we are all, fellow creatures ,deeply interconnected to our environment and with each other.
