Tarli Bird

Urban Landscape: Flinders Rangers

70 x 100 cm

Mixed media on paper

Tarli is an artist inspired by a passion for travelling and exploring.

Intuition guides the recreations of her surroundings – reimagining the built and natural environment with simple lines, colour, texture and patterns that extend the boundaries of representation.

With a deliberate application of acrylic, spray paint and embroidery, Tarli uses each layer of materials to represent the effects of human action on the natural environment. The first layer of acrylic paint suggests the natural environment, the second of spray paint suggests human influences and the third layer of embroidery combines both together to create unity.

Oil on linen

Trisha Lambi is an award-winning figurative artist, well known for her bold and sensuous yet haunting nudes.

Of her work, Lambi says ‘Light and its effect on form is my inspiration and whilst I don’t particularly aspire to convey a conscious emotion in my work, it seems to emerge of its own will’.

Exhibiting widely in Australia and internationally, career highlights include representing Australia at the Guangzhou Art Fair in China, exhibiting in California, painting murals in the streets of Heraklion in Crete and having three paintings featured in the TV series The Block.

Among her latest achievements, is the creation of a series of paintings depicting the Gold Rush in Charters Towers, which is being made into a mosaic mural covering a shopping centre wall in the town which is 60m long and 7m high.
