Artist Profile: Lise Temple
Lise's art practice has been influenced by the vivid colours and atmospheric light of rural South Australia. The studies represent her intention to constantly experiment with and broaden technique, working to address time and movement in relation to place.
Art began sporadically for Lise as she initially pursued other career avenues before settling into dedicated artmaking in the Barossa. Leaving the distractions of city living behind, she was mesmerised by the broad views of the country's never ending valleys and her paintings explore the experience of viewing place from changing viewpoints, moving through degrees of abstraction.
Lise's work features lyrical abstract landscapes and abstracted interiors which she develops through a collage composition process. Additionally, smaller outdoor paintings are produced as studies en plein air. Bold colour, generous application of impasto paint and lively brushwork feature throughout. The true subject of the work is always the colour, form and design.
Lise reflects: ‘In all of my work I intend to insinuate notions of form, space and time but also to leave room for the viewer to become involved in making their own interpretation of the subject.'
