This weeks Exhibition Highlight of the week is by Imke Beutmann, Architect for Quadrant Design Architects.
The painting is composed of three different layers consisting of homogenously coloured organic shapes with sharp outlines in the foreground, a midsection of geometric, architectural shapes with softer coloured outlines and the sky in the background painted in rough and sketchy strokes. These layers create a perception of depth almost like a sfumato.
The couple of human forms in the foreground which the title suggests are having a rendezvous, are on opposite sides of the painting, but are visually connected by the bridge in the background that spans over them. The composition makes the viewer wonder what the man’s and the woman’s story might be.
The exhibition is current until Saturday 3 May 2014

This weeks Exhibition Highlight of the week is by Penny Rushton, Interior Designer for Quadrant Design Architects.
Jane Wilson's incredible skill for catching the raw emotion of a moment is what makes this my favourite of Jane's works.
A girl's innocent pose, covering her naked body and possessing a certain pride with her elongated neck and watchful eye; seems peaceful as a first time model.
This work emits a soft fleshy glow of warmth and light, that disguises the extraordinary detail from a distance. Brush strokes in varying directions and the textured hair give an almost rustic feel to the work.

This week’s work of the week has been selected by Pam Jackson.
Pam writes: While essentially an abstract work, this painting evokes the vast expanse of the desert and the strong colours of the Pilbara.
The textural layering of colour immediately refers to the textures of the landscape and the strong colour contrasts of rock, bush and water.
I like the way that Mary Raphael’s work is realistic whilst still maintaining strong abstract qualities.
