2018 CAP Catalogue-v7

Olga Cironis
Calling
Medium: Plastic packing tape, text and
wood
Size: 120 x 120 cm
Price: $9,000
Each morning I walk along the WA
coastline and swim in the ocean to feel
immersed in the moment.
Always awed by the ever-changing
beauty and wrath of this world, I catch
myself floating away from doubt.

Birthday
Medium: Oil on board
Size: 82 x 102 cm
Price: $3,000
Birthday is a painting that extends research
into the idea that representations of place
can hold the feeling of time and one’s
personal experience.
This work explores the confluence of the
Australian landscape (with which I know,
feel and identify) and the remnants of a
personal event.
The streamers are temporarily part of the
landscape and connect a familiar Australian
place to a moment of human experience.
I attempt to expand a feeling of empathy
between the form and movement of the
trees and the streamers through a painterly
gesture.

Sheila
Medium: Oil on board
Size: 30 x 30 cm
Price: $10,000
This work is a portrait of my
grandmother, Sheila. Not unusually, I
think my grandmother is an amazing
woman.
This portrait, however, doesn’t try to
capture any narrative element, but
rather reflects my view of her, during a
visit late one afternoon.
It focuses on the way the light falls
across her aged face, and attempts to
capture the twinkle in her eye, and wry
smile that she is well-known for.
Patricia Kelly
A Fragile Journey
Medium: Oil on canvas, with
floating white timber panel.
Finished with Gamvar Glass.
Size: 65 x 127 cm
Price: $2,800
The essence of this work is directly held in my
hands. Palmistry suggests that we are born
with a life plan in the lines of our left hand, and
how we utilise this plan lays in our right.
We start life with intrinsic elements that relate
to our ancestry, but the journey we undertake
through life inflicts both physical and mental
changes on our identity; both negative and
positive. An identity can hold great strength
while simultaneously be fragile.
We set goals, symbolically represented
by the perfect white square. The
black ‘scars’ through the work are
representative of the negative that
changes and threatens us.
For some, it is a constant fight, others it
is always filled with uncertainty. I hold
dearly to where I came from but it does
not define me or who I am today or
who I will be in the future.
