JUDITH STONEY
A SYNOPSIS OF EXHIBITIONS AND PAINTINGS OVER THE LAST DECADE:
2011
Major Artwork so far in 2011 is a large canvas 1.8 x 1.2m painted from an inspirational helicopter flight Judith Stoney took over Lake Eyre in Central Australia. "Water is the keynote in colour and design. A prized commodity in a barren and unforgiving landscape. The waterbeds snake their way through the desert creating abstract patterns and this is what I have painted! The water in this painting, once again, is the jewel-like centre of focus."
Price Range $2500-18,000
Lake Eyre.
A Red Edge Canvas.
2010
Private commissions and small viewings at Middle Park Gallery this year.
Judith has started to incorporate cloth and sew objects and beads into the Red Edge canvasses, she explains, "...in these paintings you can just see the distant Wandobunni Waterhole which is some of the reason for the new phase of Desert Garden and Red Edge paintings...the blue mid-horizon line is the cradle that inspires these art works. The use of three dimensions has been necessary to create the illusion of sparkling vitality which I saw in the minutiae of the sparce vegetation and arid landscape. Water is the important thing you see? Water promotes this delicate growth and adds layers
of subtleties. The life-force is captured in the dull glow and sharp brightness of three dimensional applications - hence the incorporation of jewels into the canvas. Water is a driving element in Aboriginal art....from experience I acknowlegde this and I have found my own way to express it." Price range $2500-15,000
