23.01.2022 JUST ANNOUNCED: Congratulations to Vincent Namatjira on winning this year’s #ArchibaldPrize with his portrait of Adam Goodes, 'Stand strong for who you are'! ...‘We share some similar stories and experiences of disconnection from culture, language and Country, and the constant pressures of being an Aboriginal man in this country. When I was younger and growing up in the foster system in Perth, Indigenous footballers were like heroes to me. Goodesy is much more than a great footballer though, he took a strong stand against racism and said, enough is enough. I stand strong with you too, brother.’ - Vincent Namatjira The portrait is on display in the Archibald, Wynne and Sulman Prize exhibition, opening tomorrow, Saturday 26 September at 10am.

16.01.2022 Alumni in the ANU Art Collection: DIONISIA SALAS Alumni students and staff from the ANU School of Art and Design (previously Canberra School of Art and ANU Scho...ol of Art) are numerously represented in the collection through purchases, generous donations by artists and patrons and through the School of Art and Design’s Emerging Artists Support Scheme. In this series of posts we introduce a selection of alumni artists and their works in the collection, and give a brief insight into their lives and art practices. Dionisia Salas's She Eats the Dawn and On Saturday She Ate Salt, 2017, were donated to the ANU Art Collection in 2017. We invited Dionisia to provide some insight into her works in the collection, her connection to the ANU and a little about her current creative life: My practice is a reflection of my love of making things and an irrepressible urge to engage with paper, colour, canvas. My works start by messing around with materials, making drawings and collages and then of course, getting pulled into deeper, more concentrated pieces. Working with rules of construction, material engagement and layering combine with the magic of colour, pattern and organic line. She Eats the Dawn and On Saturday She Ate Salt were works made in an enormously stimulating and exciting time. 2016 was the year after the birth of my first child; a year of redefining and chaotic joy, underpinned by a new routine and structure. I was invited by the ANU School of Art and Design to use their printing workshop and talk with the students in the Print Media Department about their work. Through conversations with the students I began to revisit ideas of colour, pattern, positive and negative space and how these elements might work together in a restricted compositional set of rules. She Eats the Dawn and On Saturday She Ate Salt were a part of a series of small works on paper where I was working in condensed amounts of time, on the dining table (as the titles reveal) amidst the pleasure and bedlam of my new life. I wanted the shapes, colours and patterns to reflect this energy but also to rigorously investigate the compositional format I was working in. I graduated from the ANU School of Art and Design in 2004. Since graduating I have lived in Melbourne and Berlin, working as assistants to artists Katharina Grosse, Judy Millar and Alicia Kwade. I currently live and work in Canberra where I have a studio at ANCA in Dickson.

12.01.2022 Positions in Painting Is a three part symposium focusing on artists who have been working towards solo exhibitions very recently. Painting is at the core of each practice, yet Teelah George, Jelena Telecki and Natalya Hughes works also move across sculpture, installation, textiles/craft and deploy media generated imagery; touching on themes of feminism, self-isolation, and embodied experience. These talks are an opportunity to hear the ways artists are facing the challenges... of carrying on a studio practice in the midst of recent social upheavals.

08.01.2022 Alumni in the ANU Art Collection: Joel Arthur Alumni students and staff from the ANU School of Art and Design (previously Canberra School of Art and ANU School ...of Art) are numerously represented in the collection through purchases, generous donations by artists and patrons and through the School of Art and Design’s Emerging Artists Support Scheme. In this series of posts we introduce a selection of alumni artists and their works in the collection, and give a brief insight into their lives and art practices. Joel Arthurs’s 42, 2015, was donated to the ANU Art Collection in 2015. He studied painting at ANU School of Art and graduated with Honours in 2014. We invited Joel to provide some insight into his works in the collection, his experience of studying at the ANU and a little about his creative life since graduating: 42 was the first painting I made after completing study at ANU School of Art. The language of this painting is an extension of an investigation of still life, observing refraction and other optical phenomena through glass, and relating this to perception and abstraction. Through removing representation and only maintaining a ‘subject’ of flipped patterning, the reversed pattern stands in as a perceived object in space and simultaneously flattens as a field. This familiar Op Art ‘wave’ patterning echoes the work of Bridget Riley, freely painted in tonally similar hues which deliver an optical shimmer. At the School of Art I focused on generating paintings from still life as an anchor point. Everyday objects such as milk crates, plastics, reflective materials and most importantly glass, were a recurring motifs used to describe the bending of light and the perception of it in painting. This trajectory eventually resulted in the removal of description of objects in the paintings and exploration of these optical events as a field. I am currently a studio tenant at Australian National Capital Artists (ANCA) and am continuing to make paintings which investigate the interplay of representation and abstraction, drawing from still life as well as sourced imagery from the internet.
