Bronwen Vaughan-Evans Recent Works
Cover Image Anticipation (Detail) Gesso and oil on board 60 x 90 cm 2013
Vaughan-Evans’ work is created using a process of layering light gesso on top of darker gesso to create a controlled surface in which the dark layer sits just beneath a thin, light skin and thereby alludes to a metaphorical weight beneath the surface of things. The images reference objects and places from her immediate environment and are created by sanding / etching through the thin top layer to reveal the dark gesso beneath. Her minimalist paintings poignantly comments on issues of alienation, migration and identity. South African born, Vaughan-Evans now lives and works in Melbourne, Australia.
