PROVENANCE: Anna Schwartz Gallery, Melbourne 2012 Private collection, Melbourne

Darren Wardle’s artwork depicts seemingly abandoned urban settings in high saturation colours reminiscent of 1980s Los Angeles and stylised film sets. This work depicts the iconic Gerrit Rietveld designed armchair, within a run-down space covered in neon graffiti.

EXHIBITIONS: Marshland, Anna Schwartz Gallery, Melbourne, 3 June – 2 July 2011 “In these hyperrealistic portrait paintings, Nelson depicts adolescence in colourful isolation: individual portraits of young teens who avoid the viewer’s gaze and remain defiantly absorbed in themselves. Lucy’s headphones cancel out the noise of the world, and communication with Gracie is deferred as our empathy is channeled instead through the imploring gaze of her puppy. Nelson’s subjects are named, but by no means do they allow themselves to be identified - these youths wear their layers of mirrored sunglasses, comical masks, hats, and codified clothing as impenetrable defenses.” (exhibition statement)

About 100 million of these stamps were circulated around the world at a time when Aborigines were not recognised as citizens of Australia, he says. “It’s such a beautiful image which was exported around the world, advertising this kitschy Australia with its Aboriginal people but at the same time we did not have citizenship.” $14,000 – 18,000

TIM MAGUIRE (born 1958) Untitled 20040902 2004 oil on canvas signed, titled and dated verso: Maguire ‘04 / Untitled 20040902 203 x 198cm PROVENANCE: Martin Browne Fine Art, Sydney (label verso) Private collection, Victoria

Tim Maguire’s paintings depict the beauty of nature, with luxurious blooms and plump rich fruits depicted in close details across largescale canvases. They also, however, express the transience of nature, much like the work of the Dutch masters. In the seventeenth century, Dutch still-life paintings were more than meets the eye, often possessing a moral function. Although they celebrated the beauty of nature and all its bounties, they also depicted elements of memento mori (reminders of death). This may have been done through the depiction of insects, skulls, falling petals, or shriveling fruit, for example.

$60,000 – 80,000 “I first started using these Dutch floral still-lifes as subject matter for my paintings in the early 1990s. In those days, the only imagery I could access was low-resolution. My reference materials were muddy reproductions in books, or the occasional blurry postcard collected in a museum. By the time I had zoomed in on the photo, and found a composition in it, the source image was in some cases reduced to a few square centimetres – which I then blew up a thousand-fold onto canvases of up to 2 x 6 metres. This cropping and enlarging reduced the botanical details to simple shapes and colours, and I sometimes had no idea which part of which plant the areas of my paintings represented.” (The Artist, 2020) Tim Maguire’s technique of layering leads to an almost psychedelic intensity of colour and texture. He applies thin layers of paint, similar to a mechanical printing process, overlaying magenta, cyan and yellow to build up the richness of colour. Then, he activates the surface by pulling the layers back using droplets of solvent creating a sort of bleeding and blistering of paint surface. The result leaves the viewer wanting to draw inwards to the work and inspect the painstaking detail of the surface yet also stand back and absorb the overall grandeur of his works and their cinematic scale. All the elements combined result in Maguire’s now renowned interplay between still life and cinema, figuration and abstraction, the beautiful and the monstrous, and the seemingly domestic yet also exotic.

Young nurtured an interest in Philosophy of Science and Aesthetics but returned to study Painting and Sculpture at the Sydney College of the Arts, completing his studies in 1980. Spectrumfigure is a series of seven works that Young had been

ROBERT OWEN (born 1937) Shadow Play - Fourth Constellation 2011 painted stainless steel (3) from the Thought Forms series 198 x 190.5 x 101.5cm each (approx.) PROVENANCE: Commissioned from the artist The National Australia Bank Art Collection

“These sculptures reconstruct Euclidian geometry through an intuitive play with space and structure in a process of change and transformation, revealing new geometric relationships to the organic and poetic. Shadow Play – Fourth Constellation is a sculpture series based on the geometry of the hypercube, a mathematical concept referring to the fourth dimension, typically symbolised as a cube within a cube. The four-dimensional figure of the hypercube is related to the cube as the cube is related to the square. The hypercube has sixteen corners, thirty-two edges, twenty-four square faces and eight bounding cubes.”

resulting silkscreen print Interior with Built in Bar 1992, a work which demonstrates the union between the two and the balanced merging of their two artistic styles. This gouache here illustrates the key moment when “Arkley and Davila adopted a copycat mode of authorship where the hand was deliberately muddled though appropriations of each other’s form and style”1 . The composition of Interior with Built in Bar displays picture frames lopsided and an inversion of floor to ceiling, reflecting Davila’s vision of the interior whilst responding to Arkley’s perspective. Interior with Built in Bar deliberately and successfully “blurs the signifiers of authorship”2 . Arkley and Davila’s project Icon Interior 1994-2001 was the final resulting collaboration between the pair, completed by Davila after Arkley’s death. In Interior with Built in Bar and Icon Interior we can identify more than one author within the work, but the focus is not to be on who created what, but rather how the two hands at work responded to eathother’s strengths and limitations as artists and collaborated in the truest sense of the word.

YVONNE AUDETTE (born 1930) Game of Football No. 1 2001 oil on board signed and dated lower right: Audette 2001 signed, titled, dated and inscribed with cat. no. A182 verso 122 x 91.5cm

Yvonne Audette revisits a figural theme from an earlier part in her career when she was heavily influenced by Paul Cézanne and the Australian Abstractionist, John Passmore. Here, Audette presents figures in an abstract composition titled Game of Football No. 1 2001. Using broad slabs of colour, the artist has liberally applied thick strokes to draw out the subjects in movement. Audette reveals untouched areas of the board beneath - the absent room allowing

LITERATURE: Patten, S., Creative Exchanges, The Australian Financial Review, 11-12 February 2017, p. 35 (illus.)

The broad linear strokes across the background game is unfolding. Yvonne Audette guides the viewer through the image using her strokes or ‘rhythm lines’… ‘to keep the image alive by keeping it moving’1 . Audette employed the use of calligraphy in her practice as early as the mid-1950s. Her small abstract work titled Lyrical Painting c.19542 employs the distinct use of black line in a very similar style to Game of Football No. 1 2001, revealing the impact of Passmore’s teachings, who himself had recently returned from overseas passing on his own influences by Cézanne to Audette. It was during this time she also experimented with life drawings and incorporating figural attributes into her abstract technique. Developing her own distinct style, Audette hones an analytical approach to her subjects, reducing them to a series of simpler geometric-like forms, using interlocking shapes and planes of heavy colour to draw out her subjects and define them with her signature black line.

JOHN KELLY (born 1965) The Red Cow 2001 oil on linen signed and dated lower right: klly 01 91.5 x 182.5cm

John Kelly paints cows like no other. Often floating in mid-air, upside down or in obscure positions and locations, off balance with elongated necks and miniature limbs. His inspiration primarily comes from fellow artist, William Dobell. Kelly’s subjects are often referred to as ‘Dobell’s Cows’, a nod towards the 1940’s Australian war-time artist. Alongside many of his artistic peers at the time, Dobell was hired as a ‘camouflage artist’

overhead. It has been speculated that Dobell would create giant papier-mâché cows, strategically placed to imitate a Japanese market Mr. Joshua Smith inspired Kelly with the sitter’s elongated neck and hands. These Dobell-inspired features became Kelly’s most dominant motif. Dobell’s Cows’ became the breakthrough series in Kelly’s career, expressing his playful appropriation of the cows in awkward and peculiar positions and spaces. Audiences were quickly enthralled, resulting in multiple sell-out exhibitions. Kelly pursued this focus for several more years, extending it to a selection of animals, such as horses and kangaroos that continued this playful exploration of illusion versus reality.

I have been able to give up agonising over the process and am amazed that as long as I persevere with the role of allowing the structure to happen, to manifest itself, it all flows into existence with a dazzling amount of ease, and I am more of a spectator to the event.” (Artist’s statement, 1986) $3,000 – 4,000

The artist’s balancing of the familiar and the strange has the effect of drawing in and repelling the viewer: unnervingly beautiful, the longer the works are looked at, the harder it becomes to drag the gaze away.

Transmutation describes concepts of evolutionary change as well as the alteration of base metals into precious metals. Caroline Rothwell blends these two meanings together in her art. Rothwell’s work revolves around our relationship with the natural world. Her ‘Tygers’ are metamorphic beings - creatures depicted in man-made materials complete with ‘oh so sexy’ candy red auto-lacquer, as she calls it. $4,000 – 6,000

AK14110 accompanied by tape of ABC 7.30 Report segment featuring the painting 205 x 154cm PROVENANCE: Alcaston Gallery, Melbourne (accompanied by a certificate of authenticity) Private collection, Melbourne EXHIBITIONS: Ninuku Tjukurpa - Bilby Dreaming, New Paintings from Ninuku Arts, Alcaston Gallery, Melbourne, 18 March - 5 April 2008

Collaborately created by Yaritji Connelly, Judy Miller, Anyupa Nelson, Heather Watson, Tjuruparu Watson, Yangi Yangi Fox and Renae Fox. This significant work was collaboratively made to act as a ceremonial centrepiece for the inauguration of the Tjala Arts Niniku Studio in 2007. At the official launch the Niniku Tjukurpa was sung and performed around the work. The “Bilby Dreaming” has particular poignancy as the Bilby is listed as endangered and its habitat is under increasing pressure from feral foxes, wild dogs, and cats. “Tjukurpa minima ninu papmpa tjiti kutjara (this is the dreamtime story about the bilby woman and her two little boys). This is the story for Kalka. That minyma ninu (bilby woman) and her family were all earing the maku (witchetty grubs). There are lots of different maku, tjilka-tjilka, punti, ngarkalya and kanturangu. She ate so much that there were only ngingirpa left (little immature ones). The wati mututa (ant men) got really angry and they chased the bilby family, husband, wife and kids, spearing the Minyma Ninu and Mututa marched back down the hill and painted white paint in a vertical line between their stomaches and their pelvises. This is called ‘Kumpunturu’. ‘Mulapa’, this is a true story.” (Artists’ statement, 2008) $12,000 – 16,000

EXHIBITIONS: Aegaeum, Nicholas Thompson Gallery, Melbourne, 14 August - 8 September 2019, cat. no. 2 “These paintings result from a sojourn on the Greek island of Sifnos, situated in the southwest arpeggio of the Cyclades. Living and working in an isolated cottage with no electricity or internet, surrounded by olive trees and goats, it’s possible to feel cut off from the world yet more connected to it. Inspired by the sensuous austerity of the landscape - the immensity of the sky and sea, the weathered landscape inscribed with human toil – these works attempt to harness the material dimension of painting to evoke the sensuality of the natural world and our place in the cosmos. The works play at crossing the line between abstraction into representation, and in doing so affirm the physical nature of painting and its ongoing history.” (Artist’s statement, 2019) $2,800 – 3,800

EXHIBITIONS: Sophia Hewson, Sydney Contemporary, Mars Gallery, Sydney, 7 - 10 September 2017, cat. no. 4 “In the series ‘Untitled (1-6)’ ‘Untitled (research / reader)’, I appropriate the work of 26 white cis-gendered male artists (from Disney’s ‘Nine Old Men’ to emoji designer William Van Lancker). I seek to examine how our ideological beliefs drive our imagery, and the role that these pre-existing beliefs play in the way we consume imagery. Cartoons, as the privileged medium for childhood renderings, often communicate a complex set of ideas that are meant to introduce the child to “our” social world. My series demonstrates that the dominant narratives embedded in these social symbols are authored by a singular patriarchal voice that deserves revision and expansion.” (Artist’s statement, 2017) $3,000 – 5,000
