Paul Davies Everything Loose Will Land in LA

Paul Davies is an Australian artist living & working in Los Angeles. Davies completed a Masters by research at the UNSW College of Art & Design in 2014 before moving to the US. In his work ‘Everything Loose Will Land in LA/ Double Golden Gully, Davies explores the shared connection between Sydney & his new home, Los Angeles - ‘something of an El Dorado for actors, filmmakers, artists etc.’

From the Artist:
“The native Australian gum trees scattered throughout Los Angeles remind me of the ‘gold rush’ link between both places & how, in a way, this is happening today, as many Australians are drawn to ‘Hollywood’. Australia’s gold rush began after Edward Hargraves noticed the landscapes producing gold in California were also in Australia.”

Lawrence Wallen The Fractured Landscape

Prof. Dr Lawrence Wallen (BArch (Hons), MArch (Research), DCA) is currently the Head of the Design School at the University of Technology Sydney, Australia (UTS). The Fractured Landscape of Subasio 2 comprises four books with a total of 92 drawings arranged as a single work. The work realised on paper in a concertina format using ink, graphite & tempera allows the 23 individual drawings per book to fold out to a drawing with a size of 299 cm x (21cm x 4).

From the artist:
“Wallen’s many-layered drawings are visually split with the central rupture becoming the pivotal motive across the sequence of drawings. The tension between colour field & empty space, inspired by the nature as much as by the art history of the area reveals the tortured territory that exists between historical & personal topographies.”

Based in Brooklyn, Suzanne Chamlin received her M.F.A. from Yale University in 1989 & her B.A. from Barnard College in 1985. Chamlin’s works are in the collections of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C; The Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven; & the Nelson Atkins Museum, in Kansas City, Missouri. She is a recipient of residencies at the Albers Foundation, Yaddo, the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, the Ragdale Foundation, Fundacion Valparaiso in Spain, & the Edna St. Vincent Millay Colony.

From the artist:
“The first stage of my painting process is a meditation & translation of what I see, & later I imagine into the space. I make changes until the piece feels like it has a sense of place. In my recent paintings, I am interested in the reduction of forms as a way to simplify & allow light & atmosphere to prevail.”
