gf_canvas_paper_wood Nadine Lineham
SALE-based Nadine Lineham is a former Gippsland Grammar student and the school’s current head of visual arts and technology. Nadine has also exhibited in solo and group shows across Victoria and interstate since 2006, and has been shortlisted twice as a finalist for the prestigious John Leslie Art Prize, the Eutick Memorial Still Life Award in New South Wales, and in 2018-2019 was awarded The Dick Bishop Memorial Art Prize for an emerging artist. Recently committing to abstraction, her practice continues to be anchored in drawing, with a strong sense of structure and space in her work. Nadine said she became more interested in the “negative space” surrounding the objects she was observing. “... removing the figure and expanding upon loose gestures and mark making has allowed me to create a history by adding and subtracting and this is what I’m looking for,” she said.

“Traces of the layers are visible, allowing colours to interact, heightening the senses. “I’ve always wanted to express an emotional connection to the work, to feel rather than to see. “The use of black remains a staple for me. “It creates the voids, a beginning and an end, and everything in between — you can find a lot or nothing at all; it depends on what you are ready to perceive.” Nadine is exhibiting five pieces in Art Online, priced between $800 to $3000.
