25.01.2022 Starting today . "Avatar for a Silent Forest" in #drawingstrength @montsalvatartscentre curated by @__jolane__ . All works are for sale. Photo by @__jolane__ ... . In this work I was thinking about the devastation of our forests world wide and how I wished for a mighty defender. I like how she has the seeds for new life within. .

24.01.2022 A sensitive and insightful article about my work by Maria Litvinova.

24.01.2022 From a post by my friend Kim Anderson, words to make you stop and think!! "The EOFY is fast approaching, and dont forget that there is a way to purchase art with a 100% tax deduction!!! If you are a small business with turnover of less than $10 million a year you can claim any artwork purchase up to $20,000 on your tax as long as it goes into your workplace (and that includes sole traders and home offices...) And lets face it, most of us are working longer and longer hours ...so you might as well look at something you like. Why buy crappy mass-produced Ikea prints when you can enjoy original artwork??!" SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?? :) Studio visits welcome, just PM me. You can also preview works on my website www.irenewellm.com and on Instagram @irene.wellm . HAPPY DAYS!!

24.01.2022 Almost there... getting back to a semblance of normal studio life. Finding myself responding to the feelings of upcoming calamity in our world. . #vulnerability... #fragile #lifeanddeath #worksonpaper #gouache #contemporarycollage #irenewellm #melbourneartist #australianart #mythsandlegends #shadowhunters #blackandwhite #birds #naturevsman #naturewillsurvive See more

20.01.2022 Proud to be a part of this, at Werkshau in the Spinnerei, Leipzig.

20.01.2022 An in-depth review of my latest work (and much more) at Tacit Galleries by Melbourne Art Seen. Brilliant! Show on until October 21. And dont forget Tacit has moved to Gipps Street!

20.01.2022 Back to the paint. The work is developing nicely, having the time and the luxury of my Leipzig studio in 2013. Seeing this again reminds me how good it is to p...aint in oils! . #thepainterasthehuntressdiana #leipzigstudio2013 #leipziginternationalartprogramme #oilpainting #irenewellm #melbourneartist #australianart #madeinleipzig #mythsandlegends #creativeprocess See more

19.01.2022 A beautiful arrangement of works at @stockroomkyneton - you could take this all right home and make a stunning room! . My work "Silent Nature", left. Two works by Becc Orszg on the right, and in front on the podium a work by Natalie Ryan. What a great combo we make! . #wallofart #blackandwhite #buyart #pictures #drawing #painting #sculpture #handmade #irenewellm #beccorszag #natalieryan #stockroomkyneton @stockroomkyneton #melbourneartists

18.01.2022 This is whats next for me - I have a work in this show curated by artist Jo Lane, about the diversity of drawing. Although my gouache works are painted, traditionally, this practice was always defined as drawing. Theres a bit of debate about that nowadays!

17.01.2022 Did you know 3MBS has an arts program? No? Neither did I!! But my clever cohorts Janice Gobey and Naomi Bishop from my next group exhibition Microcosmographia did, and what a fabulous interview they made! Opens next Tuesday March 3 from 5-7pm at Forty Five Downstairs. Details in next post. Have a listen to this (its in the first half hour of the show):... https://3mbs.org.au/player/streamer.php

06.01.2022 But to satisfy those who are suffering from palette fever, here are just a few of the palettes in the exhibition (no special order other than they are ones I have colour corrected and are from the earlier works in the exhibition - loads more to come over the next 4 weeks!)

05.01.2022 I seem to be obsessed with trees these days.. . Im making new work for an upcoming exhibition at Tacit Gallery in October 2018, an installation piece. #worksonpaper #gouache #painting #studio #workinprogress #oaktree #blackandwhite #irenewellm

05.01.2022 Due to illness Im afraid Im very late getting this out. But the show will go on! I have the help of my husband and friends to get the work put up, and I shall be the directeur! Im sure youve probably seen the painting on this invite before, but its a foil! It will have an interesting relationship to the work to be pinned up on the opposite wall, yet to be documented in situ.. Cant wait!

04.01.2022 Here is the amazing space called Werkshau in Leipzig. Sadly my work is barely visible here on the left (the large black and white one) but hey, Im not complaining!

03.01.2022 Just checked out the amazing spaces in Windsor for the upcoming #notfair2017 - total industria! Brings back abandoned Leipzig to me all over again. Awesome clea...nup and rearrangement going on by #ashleycrawford, #samleach et al - one helluva job! Hope to see you all @notfairart in November to explore all those nooks and crannies, and to see some of my new work in situ! . #notfair2017 #australianart #upcoming2017 #artexhibition #melbourneart #rawart See more

01.01.2022 Close up detail of the bottom half of my last post. Its about the end of the old, of outworn, outdated structures. Metaphorically, we contain in our minds structures set in place long ago. Patterns of thinking, or of doing. Sometimes, they just dont serve us anymore. They have to be broken down, destroyed, to allow new growth to occur. . #gouache #painting #worksonpaper #newwork #irenewellm #innerlife #innerouter #destruction #kali #outwiththeold #makingroom #breakingthrough #shadowwork
