Doodie Herman
December Light
71 x 76 cm
Acrylic on canvas
Born in WA, Doodie’s inspiration comes from a deep love of and connection to nature that began in childhood exploring the hectares of untouched bush behind her home.
‘I work from my own photographs, memory and imagination and my process is intuitive – it always begins with a palette of colours then the painting is slowly discovered.
I love to explore new tools and palettes to keep my paintings fresh and immediate. The creative freedom in this way of working is very rewarding, leading to unexpected places and paintings across several genres’.
Carol Zsolt
Vertical Garden
76 x 122 cm
Acrylic on canvas
Carol Zsolt is an abstract artist based in Melbourne. Carol’s art is about colour form and detail and how they all work together.
Carol’s work is different and appealing. Her distinctive style derives from attention to detail and her ability to look beyond the brush stroke while outlining every square and swirl. It is about the maximalist element of her art, where there is something everywhere.
Paintings are built layer upon layer of colour and brushstrokes. After the first colour, the following colours flow guided by what intrigues her aesthetically, creating an exciting contrast or simply by happy coincidence.
Jem Ham
Mr Alpha Bert
81.5 x 81.5 cm
Acrylic on linen
Jem Ham is a self taught artist who started painting on brick walls with water at the age of four.
Today, he works primarily on canvas and paper. His art attempts to unravel the day-to-day psyche through surrealist automatism and biomorphic forms. It reflects a journey of evolving selfawareness, reaching from the physical world, to mind and spirit.
Capturing moments of doubt and confusion, of weakness and strength, of joy and sorrow, of fantasy and reality, of whimsy and clarity, and of love and longing, his works are in essence, a soapbox for the subconscious mind.
