| Yvonne
first began exhibiting in Brisbane in 1981 and has maintained
a consistently strong painting practice and exhibition involvement.
Since then Yvonne's most distinctive paintings are the grass
series begun in 2004. These are superbly crafted oil
paintings, loaded with strong, simple metaphor. |
|
| The
austerity and boldness of this subject matter is balanced
by a delicate depth and finish- enhanced, seemingly, with
the very fragrance of the Australian landscape. I am concerned
with the colour, structure and movement of grass, and the
relationship between areas of where grass has once been and
where grass is now travelling to. |
|
....these
grass paintings are not the literal portrayal of grass but
the spirit of grass - the rhythm and movement - as it is
touched by wind and sun causing a shimmer on the surface
of the earth... I endeavour to convey this
vibration on to the surface of the canvas...
