Richard has placed his exquisite works at South Yarra Art House for the last 5 years.
Every customer has been delighted
Richard Bogusz's professional career as an artist spans nearly 30 years. Beginning in Melbourne in 1971, and now in a tropical Queensland since 1986.
It would be hard to imagine just how many of his very individual paintings grace private and public walls throughout the world. It suffices to say that just as his abundant imagination is as vital as the first day he picked up a paint-brush, as strong is the desire to "own and hang a Bogusz painting".
. Each work has secrets lurking in the familiar, if you'll just look a little closer.
In each painting Richard offers a new perspective of the world that compels the viewer to renew the experience.
AWARDS:
Work Highly Commended by Professor McCaughey & Daniel Thomas, N.S.W. Gallery 1974
First Prize awarded by Charles Bush 1974
First prize awarded by Paul Fitzgerald 1975 (portrait painter to the Royal Family)

INTERNATIONAL MEDIA RELEASE FROM TRACY DODS:
Dods’s Pursuit Of Corporate Angst Warns Us All
In a nation where the conventional is often challenged, corporate orthodoxy finds itself under the spotlight of Australian visual artist, Tracy Dods.
Dods is further developing her journey through corporate anguish, clearly identifying it as a metaphor for wider social isolation.
Her paintings clearly provoke compelling suggestions of malfunction in the western business lifestyle.
“But it’s more than just corporate anguish and implied suicide. It’s really a representation of the loneliness surrounding us all today, which we seem scarcely even to notice anymore”, she says. “Society is making us so completely separate that I believe we’re close to losing the understanding of how to be, and behave as, a community. Media messages constantly instruct us to be individuals. We obey, and so it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. We’re lost and anxious and we see social distress all around us and we project that this must be the way we’re supposed to live now. It isn’t”.
“It started one Friday evening when I watched what seemed like a herd of businessmen at 5.00 pm, homeward bound for the weekend looking unimaginably depressed”. Her theme became a complete symbol of a nine to five, cradle to grave male condition, leading to a life one hardly knows how to live.
|
|
|
|
|

| |
The theme for this exhbiition is as follows:
"Core of my heart, my country!
Land of the Rainbow Gold,
For flood and fire and famine,
She pays us back threefold;
Over the thirsty paddocks,
Watch, after many days,
The filmy veil of greenness
That thickens as we gaze."
Michael Weitnauer has lived much of his life in Australia with periods of time spent living and working in Europe. He has a close connection with Berlin, where both his parents grew up and lived before emigrating to Australia in 1952.
In the last fifteen years Weitnauer has held 28 solo exhibitions and participated in more than 15 group shows around Australia and overseas. His most recent success includes winning the prestigious 2002 West Point Art Award and the South Yarra Art House Inaugural Art Prize 2006, and being selected as a finalist for the 2007 Glover Prize.
Michael Weitnauer is a notable painter who is building a strong following in Australia and overseas. He is part of a respected group of contemporary Tasmanian artists whose works are constantly in demand and whose reputations are growing nationally. His paintings are held in private, corporate and institutional collections in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Singapore, Canada, USA and throughout Europe.

Stuart has been painting for over 15 years and his work now hangs in both public and private collections throughout Australia and overseas
including U.K, Ireland, Singapore, Canada, New Zealand, San Francisco and locally.
Stuart Clues coastal landscapes echo the less inhabited stretches of our coast, where large expanses of beach, rocky outcrops and breaking water present an idyll we all cherish.
Stuart’s paintings capture the vast array of moods Tasmania and Victoria offers on its
coastal plains and rugged interior. The East and South West Coast being a particular passion.

Amanda Shadforth
Born in Queensland. Exhibiting her Art since the early age of sixteen. Although a qualified sign writer most of her career has been in creating works of art on canvas, chalk boards and outdoor Murals.
Recent Winner of Best Emerging Artist Award
Mandy’s love of the out doors, the sun and ocean is reflected in her works on canvas in both her photo real and her free and spontaneous styles.
Gaining so much from the feelings of calmness and serenity that the ocean gives to her, Amanda hopes to channel these emotions from her surroundings to the viewer through her artworks. Vibrant sundrenched scenes with vivid contrasts of light and shade alight the viewer to feel transpired to the real life setting.
Mandy’s art is exhibited in three states of Australia, and she is being recognized as one of Australia’s emerging young artists.
Amanda chooses compositions with interesting view points, this may be an influence of her commercial artistry shining through, as she is often commissioned to paint large Trompe 'l oei both privately and publicly.

Many of Annette’s paintings also portray a quirky aerial view, with distorted perspective and rounded horizons. This is a hangover from her days of flying a Cessna in the Northwest of Western Australia.
Annette’s art is an evolving process which stems from a lifelong desire to be a painter and a storyteller. “I have been privileged to be a clinical psychologist for so many years, listening and working with stories both on the personal and a deeper unconscious level, now I am blessed to work again with stories, with emotions and psychology as an artist.”
, Annette believes that it is her figurative work that gives her the greatest scope to continue serving others. “I would like to leave the planet a better place in any small way I can and if I can paint uplifting portrayals of life, of love and the spirit and people can connect and relate to them, then in many ways, I am a psychologist with a brush.”

RALF KEMPKEN
I have been exhibiting in Melbourne for the past five years. The works deal with aspects of memory, of places and faces in the not so distant past.
Buildings and urban landscapes are part of a city's collective memory. Many people know these places. The pictures act as emotional triggers for the viewer's associated memory.
The works are produced with multi layered stencils/screens, aerosol paint and acrylic brushwork. The use of the hand coloured
stencil goes back to the turn of the 1900's when many posters, cards and brochuers were produced by what was then known as "pochoir" (french for stencil) method before the development
of offset printing. In a contemporary context the stencil appears all over Melbourne's inner city streets and laneways as streetart.
I have work in the public collection of the City of Yarra and the City of Melbourne.

Adam Bogusz was born 1971, Melbourne.
Adam's successful debut as an artist in 1998 was not that surprising. From an early age, he revealed a wide range ofliterary, musical and theatrical skills that blended into his early figurative works. From the beginning, each painting dramatically melded strength of colour with a lyrical quality, to reflect an abstraction of the world, real and imagined, that we all inhabit. Consequently, a great number of his works sold at exhibitions and galleries, to grace homes throughout Australia and overseas.
By 200 I, there was evidence of major developments in Adam's work; a loosening Of style matched by a fresh originality of ideas, enhanced by an increasing strength of composition and vibrancy of colour.
In 2004, with the development of his technical skills paralleling his maturity as a person and artist, there is evidence in his works of his awareness of the 'reality behind the appearance' as manifested in human behaviour.
As an artist, he reconciles the darkness of our fears with the purities of our hopes. This he achieves with a lyrical and vibrant blend of colour and drama often with a deft touch of humour

Norman Lindsay was one of ten children, six boys and four girls. He was fifth in line.
There is so much to be amazed about in Lindsay's etchings, not the least being that they exist at all.
The time, effort and stress seems to complete works like these etchings is almost inhuman.
Norman Lindsay created 375 etchings in his remarkable life.
If one looks at the dates of the etchings, you realized that he had done them all in the space of 30 years!
All but 25 were done between 1917 and 1938. That's an etching every 23 days.
NORMAN LINDSAY EXHIBITION OPENING 2010.

Born in the small rural town of Smithton, he had an immediate talent for art and found his school days and nights filled with drawing and painting cars and motorbikes and selling them to fellow students for 50c each; then progressing on to painting landscapes for their parents on cardboard and masonite.
At college he was taught by renowned artist Geoff Dyer who would take selected students to Interstate National Galleries to view artists like Picasso, Van Gough, Roberts and Streeton, who all had a big influence on Warren's artistic development.
After 25 years in the graphic art and signmaking industry, Warren realised his real love was painting and became a full time artist.
An affinity with nature is the fuel for Warren's inspiration along with a deep love of music. He says the two forms compliment each other and inspire his love of pure colour.

Artist Statement.
Karen Bentons art is continually evolving. Spontaneous yet disciplined, I apply layers of paint, scraping back, scratching into and scarring the surface in order to challenge the existing state of the work.. I allow speculation, change and discovery to help me produce a range of exciting abstract compositions.
Influences are as diverse as urban scrawls, landscape markings and oriental motifs stemming from having lived, worked and travelled in European cities, the Australian outback, Egypt,Morocco and southern Africa.
Intuitive and improvisational markings are combined with order, balance and harmony. Each painting is about the process of its creation, the relationships that form its composition and the ongoing dialogue among the elements of shape, colour and texture.
Having worked as Artistic Director for a magazine publisher since 1997, I have found a complimentary overlap between design principles and expressive creativity in my painting..
My work impresses with its colour, balance and texture and has been described as "visually exciting" and "sophisticated and conceptually deep."
Awards
2003 Award of Excellence - Visual Arts, School of Colour and Design, Australia.
2000 Fred Hosking Design Award.

“I spent the first twenty years of my life in Point Lonsdale, Victoria. I loved the beach then and I love it now. I surfed, swam and lived for the beach.
“My work reflects my life. I love the beauty of nature that surrounds me and love the satisfaction of working my way through ideas and designs. I am flattered by the success my artwork has achieved, and I look forward to seeing what the future will bring. I approach each new canvas with excitement, curiosity, and confidence. It is always a new beginning and a new opportunity .”

At the age of 6 I fell immediately in love with the work of Salvador Dali when I saw his Painting "Santiago el Grande". I sat before the painting for hours at a time, mesmerised by the rearing horse, by the light, by the angels. It was a pivotal experience in my life, and at that time, I decided that one day I would be a painter.
At the age of eight My Mother handed me oils and brushes said "Paint!". I did and I have never stopped.
While I will still paint Dalinian subjects (his Camembert clocks, soft keys etc.) for my Homage to Dali exhibitions, my work goes beyond this. I am predominantly a Surrealist, but my style is softer, thoughtful and sometimes carries insights into my observations of life, and occasionally into my outrage at social injustice. My work over the years has covered the full gamut of emotions.
Elizabeth Holian.
