Paula Irene Payne

As a painter of natural environments, I can consider how the impact of the Anthropocene affects the ways that humans relate to land - or to Country - or to place. But this series of paintings also belies my interest in the processes and materiality of painting.

I started drawing faces during lock down and I have not stopped drawing faces. I want to create emotion and a life lived with some pencil and charcoal and to make pictures that people want to look at. Art does not need to be pretentious. It just needs to portray something.

Brigitte Oberlik-Burtscher

I paint abstract paintings but also paintings in which colors, shapes and silhouettes emerge from the depths of my memories and condense into fictional places or impressions of nature, where it is not only abstracted landscape but rather its character, the silence, the vastness, a horizon. Sometimes it is simply the desire for powerful brush strokes that drives me. To feel this energy, to let it become visible, captivates and challenges me every time anew.
