In some ways, Antoinette Ferwerda Gallery was a happy accident. Antoinette is the first to admit that she never dreamed of owning her own gallery. But, as her career progressed and her creations outgrew her former home studio, the need for space wholly dedicated to art arose. More than five years later, the gallery-studio hybrid site on Nepean Highway in Brighton East is a warm and beautifully designed space, filled not only with Antoinette’s art but with a comfortable and a hard working team. Through the back of the gallery, behind the big blue door, is the working studio. Operating five days a week, this is where the creation of all Antoinette’s beautiful artworks takes place. New art stories are developed and brought to life in the space, before being sold online, hung on the gallery walls or sent to their new homes.

MEET OUR CAMPAIGN ARTIST

Our team first fell in love with Renee Broder’s striking portraits at The Studio Gallery stand during the very first Affordable Art Fair Sydney. Renee is a Melbourne-based artist and disability arts advocate; whose vibrant paintings merge the real with abstraction through a playful use of negative space. By emphasising the facial features shown in her compositions, Renee invites us to explore the psyche of her painted subjects. Renee has an intriguing creative process that incorporates technology with more traditional methods. Read on to hear more about it from Renee herself and be in-the-know before visiting the fair.

Your portraits are very distinctive, can you tell us more about your unique process?

During my initial image developmental phase, I utilise a range of paper and digital portraiture elements, combining these parts to create a wholey unique portrait and environmental image, that often aims to express how I’m feeling at that particular time and by creating these works, in this way, at times, I’m ultimately creating paintings that are sometimes self reflective and deeply personal.

Through the aide of repetition, my process has evolved, with many of my works now being more detailed, with the addition of more elements, both within the portrait itself and it’s surrounding environment, which has greatly improved my vision and hence my stories.

At all times, I aim to create images that can withhold attention, with the figures expression and the addition of a strong colour palette playing a big part in my developing images this way.

to extend the collage process, hence being a great way to develop my designs in order to test out theories, before starting the traditional painting.

Can you tell us more about what inspires your art practice, are there any motifs that you return to?

I often revisit social motifs within the media when I need additional inspiration. As I’m inspired by beauty in all forms, I often seek elements that challenge social norms in order to help establish the story’s mood.

I often find that motifs are useful when setting the tone or conjuring a particular mood and, as motifs can also illuminate something about society, human nature, and the world, they can also reinforce themes through the repetition of certain narratives or elements, hence reinforcing or deepening themes or perspectives in one’s own work.

What does a typical day in your studio look like?

What are your thoughts on the role that digital technology can play in traditional painting methods?

Speaking from my own experience, digital technology has provided me with an important means in developing my own processes, allowing me to experiment before I start the very important physical artwork itself. This freedom has allowed me

My custom built studio is located in my backyard here in Melbourne. I feel very lucky to have the luxury of being able to practice at home rather than having to travel to work.

I always finish the end of every day with a sweep and tidy up of the day’s materials in the studio, as I’m pretty messy, when I’m in working mode. The following morning, I try

to get into the studio about 10am, I grab a coffee and a quick bite to eat, shuffle things around, pop on some music, welcome my two sausage dogs Otto and Archibald inside, and then I begin the day with a physical collage session, cutting up additional paper material and utilising existing features, using pieces from previous sessions along with some of the days new additions in order to create a myriad of new portraits and environments.

This inital activity allows me the freedom to create stage one of the physical ideas that could be used to inspire a new body of work.

Then, after spending time studying the paper parts as a whole and having settled upon something that strongly resonates, once everything is in place, I photograph the paper piece and, by using an app on my phone, I begin manipulating the photograph, adding digital elements, adjusting and adding colours, stretching and resizing the elements.

This digital stage kicks of the final image and is the starting point for the physical painting which often consists of a mix of oil and acrylic paints.

What has been a memorable moment of your career to date.

Meeting the beloved indigenous Icon, the late Uncle Jack Charles, who sadly passed away last year, by pure coincidence, after watching his Interview session with the incredible artist Anh Do, which led to an incredible opportunity in painting his portrait for the Doug Moran National Portraiture prize. Uncle Jack was a fantastic subject who was so generous, humble, encouraging and so excited when I called him to say that we had been shortlisted. Painting Uncle Jack will forever be a highlight in my career.

Can you tell us more about the paintings you will be presenting at Affordable Art Fair Sydney with Studio Gallery?

The works that I plan to present at the Affordable Art Fair will be a range of both boldly coloured and also monochromatic paintings, dependent on the subject matter. I’ve been playing around with including flowers in the overall images lately, being symbolic of an exchange, representing where the simple act of giving a gift can make a huge difference in ones life.

Recently I’ve been focusing on creating works that are quite introspective, aiming to emotionaly connect with my audience and enable me to explore new themes and emotions.
