Search ArticlesIn Conversation with: Gus Clutterbuck
Gus Clutterbuck fuses Chinese symbolism with Australiana in his cobalt paintings and ceramics, reflecting his love of the two places. How would you describe what you do? I make works in porcelain which encompass objects, large painted forms and large scale installations. Elements in the works are hand built or made using moulds of found objects. I also create miniature mixed-media works on paper and enlarge them greatly to produce limited edition prints.
Best of Figurativism: Andrew Paranavitana - Art Edit
Coming from a background in architectural photography, it may seem surprising that the work of Melbourne-based artist Andrew Paranavitana is so driven by narrative. “I create visual stories within my work”, he says, “figurativism lends itself to the process of creating this story, forming the main character of every piece”. However, these main characters are rarely human, the artist instead using landscapes and wildlife to propel his audience through meditations on very human problems.
Best of Figurativism: Carlotta Hey
Clothing is a profoundly personal form of self-expression, and it is through their sartorial choices that the figures portrayed by German-born, Melbourne-based artist Carlotta Hey convey their feelings, dreams and desires. With a background in fashion, design and styling, Hey is intimately familiar with the way the human body is a vehicle for communication – “there is so much to discover about a human body by simply looking at it closely”, she says.
Best of Figurativism: Hannah Atherton
“Figurativism to me is a sense of familiarity, rather than outright recognition”, says Melbourne-based artist Hannah Atherton, “I want my works to be recognisable in what they depict, but not necessarily what story they are trying to tell”. Revelling in the unceremoniously familiar, Atherton portrays everyday activities like bathing, sleeping, eating and loving in her art.
Best of Figurativism: Steve Fitz
Throughout the late 19th and 20th centuries, the rebels and renegades of the art world moved further towards abstraction, leaving behind realism in favour of explorations of colour, composition and line. NSW-based artist Steve Fitz sees his practice as rebelling in turn against dominant aesthetic trends, bringing the body back into focus. “It’s more than just depicting physical bodies”, says the artist, “it’s about capturing the emotions, stories, and complexities that reside within them.
Best of Figurativism: VR Morrison
After an almost 10-year hiatus, Gold Coast-based artist VR Morrison has returned to her easel. Morrison’s works have consistently looked to the rich tradition of vanitas paintings and morality tales, particularly that of the Old Masters. From the Renaissance to the Rococo, artists utilised a complex repertoire of symbols to convey ideas of faith, ethics and concerns with the hereafter that – while many are illegible to today’s viewer – were instantly recognised by their contemporaries.
Best of Figurativism: Juli Balla
Pareidolia is the tendency of the human brain to interpret inanimate objects as faces, bestowing personality on things that are innately without it. Sydney-based photographer Juli Balla takes advantage of this with her playful works. “Figurativism to me is where the brain fills in the gaps”, she says, “my motto is less is more”. In two recent series, Balla has created characters from objects that, when combined, take on a life of their own.
SPECIAL FEATURE: The Great AI Interior Design Shake-Up
The last couple of years has seen a huge uptake in the use of artificially intelligent interior design software by homeowners undertaking DIY projects and interior designers. What does all this mean for designers and the visual artists whose works are often used for inspiration or in renders? Grace Ellen Macpherson reports. Artificial Intelligence (AI) interior design software has been rapidly developing over the last two years.
Ones to Watch: Holly Field - Art Edit
Art Edit has selected Holly Field as an outstanding artist to have on your radar. Following a twenty-year nursing career, emerging artist Holly Field began her creative journey in her mid-thirties. A self-taught ceramic artist, she initially sought to incorporate painting to diversify her ceramic designs. However, she soon uncovered a passion for capturing the essence of people and the interplay of light, primarily in oil paint.
Showcase: Roy B Wilkins
A striking combination of bold line and layered motifs, Toby by London-born, Melbourne-based artist Roy Wilkins is the coalescence of the artist’s instinctual approach to mark-making and his environment. Embracing a truly expressionist style, the artist works and reworks his large canvases, applying acrylic atop spray paint on stencil and pastel.
