Self Portrait with Cosmos<br />

Medium: Oil on canvas<br />

Size: 50 x 70 cm<br />

Price: $2,000<br />

This self portrait separates and identifies the two<br />

foundations of my identity as both an artist and florist.<br />

Moreover, it denotes the two foundations of my art<br />

making practice; portraiture and floral still life.<br />

Mongers Lake<br />

Medium: Oil on Belgian linen<br />

Size: 77 x 153 cm<br />

Price: $8,500<br />

Mongers Lake is a prominent feature<br />

of my home, Wanarra station. It is vast,<br />

harsh and beautiful. A land mark in<br />

Western Australia.<br />

I am an Australian realist and landscape<br />

painter. I have always been fascinated<br />

by illusions of space and light,<br />

atmospheric effects, the ever changing,<br />

overarching sky, the textures and<br />

colours of the land.<br />

This subject embodies all of these and<br />

reflects the unique qualities of the<br />

Australian landscape in which I live, that<br />

I identify with. How lucky am I to have<br />

it in my own back yard?<br />

Brian Robinson<br />

By Virtue of This Act I Hereby Take<br />

Possession of This Land<br />

Medium: Linocut<br />

Size: 72.3 x 45 cm<br />

Price: $3,600<br />

This defining moment in Australia’s history and<br />

identity in addressed in this print that illustrates the<br />

discovery of the Islands and the continent by Captain<br />

James Cook.<br />

To add a contemporary element to the work and<br />

reinforce the concept of invasion I have included<br />

imagery of space invaders.<br />

Sally Wilson<br />

Arcadian Home<br />

Medium: Mixed media<br />

Size:130 x 138 cm<br />

Price: $4,500<br />

The physical world with its green and<br />

never-ending horizons was my earliest<br />

friend, waiting with its open armed beauty.<br />

Drawing opens this dialogue between<br />

horizons with the intimacies of the bush<br />

and its quietly-held secrets.<br />

Working in collaboration with chance to<br />

build the blemished surface which informs<br />

all my work requires a repetitive editing<br />

process of layering and erasing; my work on<br />

paper comes with many personas.<br />

I never give up on old works, they gather a<br />

wisdom of their own.<br />

When a surface is ripe for a conversation, I<br />

introduce my own coded mark making; the<br />

wide open spaces; my earliest friend.<br />

I combine graphite, charcoal and watercolour, along with collected bush and<br />

earth, all media that permits manipulation with water allowing this process<br />

to unfold.<br />
