Artists’ Profiles 39. Advertise Her Meaghan Coles Meaghan Coles Emerging artist Meaghan Coles explores the female face within popular advertising. Her oil paintings investigate the fragmented face, questioning the concept of ideal beauty portrayed in popular imagery. The result is a mere superficial representation of an ideal female beauty that reflects the beauty and fashion industry. John Colman John completed a Bachelor of Visual Arts (Ceramics) in 2005 from the University of South Australia, being awarded the HP Gill Memorial Medal. He then successfully completed the two-year Associate Program in Ceramics at the Jam Factory, Adelaide. Since then he has conducted a homebased studio practice in Adelaide working in both ceramics and kiln formed glass. 47. Highland Ride Jim Disher Stephanie Crase Adelaide Central School of Art graduate Stephanie Crase has recently returned to Adelaide after two years travelling the UK and Europe. Fittingly, her latest oil and watercolour paintings reflect on both old memories and unfamiliar territories, subtly engaging themes of restlessness and longing, home and away. Her gently skewed streetscapes, still lifes and portraits evoke an ambience hovering somewhere between anxious and serene. Jim Disher Jim Disher is trained as an illustrator and has freelanced in Adelaide. He has also worked as an artist and has exhibited extensively including Soma Galleries, Norwood, in 2008 and Jackman Gallery, St Kilda, in 2009. He was a finalist in the Advertiser Sala Art Award in 2008. 50. Through the Looking Glass Sylvia Eakins Sylvia Eakins Spontaneous brushstrokes of colour creating form and a luscious texture allow Sylvia Eakins to express her interpretation of impressionism. She sees the world through perceptual grids of colour and form — using her senses to push the boundaries. Alfred Engel Whether using oil, egg tempura or watercolor, Alfred Engel paints masterfully in a number of genres, employing a true academic style that may be whimsical, uplifting or thought-provoking, but also conveys his well considered statements. He is a fellow of the Royal Arts Society SA, past president of the Southern Districts Art Society SA, and a foundation member of the Ocean Street Arts Society. He has staged a number of solo exhibitions in Melbourne, Adelaide, Southport QLD and Victor Harbor and has received many important honours. 8
Artists’ Profiles 56. Flown Catherine Fitz-Gerald 60. Darnku Country Alec Forrest 62. Dog Karen Genoff Cathy Fennell Cathy is an accomplished artist who combines layers, colour, textures and wash to create an original approach to painting. Cathy is influenced by her experience in graphic and textile design with inspiration for her paintings coming from her three energetic children. Cathy’s work is held in private collections in Australia and overseas. Catherine Fitz-Gerald The ‘Before the Wine’ series started by following the life of a vine from bud burst through to final prune and evolved into a much wider exploration. The vines house a vibrant ecosystem and soil, drought, rain, heat and cold affect the many varietals differently. The man made twinnings of wire and structure are juxtaposed against last year’s dried twists and lush new growth tendrils and always, for me, the light defines it all. The strongly textured branches are a foil for delicately shaded grapes and the details of new growth are swept away by the blown leaves of autumn. Sue Flanagan Sue Flanagan has successfully entered Australia’s most prestigious art awards, The Archibald Prize, with her first entry, a portrait of Australian musician John Schumann. This was purchased by Sony and used for John’s album cover. She works predominantly with oil paint on linen. Her Star Portrait painting of Hugh Sheridan was bought by Loreto College last year. Her daughter Purnima has Indian heritage, which provides a constant source of inspiration. Sue’s work has been commissioned by major companies and she regularly exhibits locally and interstate. She studied at the Adelaide Central School of Arts and ArtLab Australia. Alec Forrest This is the story of Alec’s country along a section of the Canning Stock route. He describes the places along the way, and where they could source good water. He also relates a memory of his brother leading a party of Europeans through the desert during the second world war. The red lines are the sandhills. Ngarinjarti lake is the pink and white circular shape bottom-left, and slightly above and right to that is a well (yellow and brown shape) which is salty. Courtesy of Marshall Arts Karen Genoff Karen Genoff’s professional arts practice spans 34 years. She is represented in many public and private collections with several major public works in Adelaide, Interstate and Internationally in Japan and New Zealand. Many would be familiar with her public work in The East End of Adelaide, The Apron, commemorating the life and colour of Adelaide’s former fruit and produce exchange 1996. Her studio work to date concerns itself with the roles of artist and mother. Courtesy of BMGArt 9
