Currently on exhibition at the Gallery Of Modern Art in Brisbane is Matisse: Drawing Life, the most comprehensive presentation of Henri Matisse’s original drawings & prints ever mounted. Also to complement the exhibition there is ‘The Drawing Room’, an interactive large-scale drawing studio for visitors, inspired by Matisse and his working environments.
If you live locally and haven’t already been I highly recommend it, though be sure to choose a day when they have the life models to draw from to complete the experience.
My line drawing is the purest and most direct translation of my emotion. The simplification of the medium allows that. At the same time, these drawings are more complete than they may appear to some people who confuse them with a sketch.
It has been a while between posts, I have been busy travelling Australia with my wife & family who were visiting from Switzerland. We had a magnificent three weeks together visiting the Barossa Valley, Robe, Port Fairy & Lorne to name a few places, as well as spending time surfing Noosa and the Gold Coast. I will post some photos soon, there are plenty to share, but in the meantime I’d love to share this beautiful short film from islands and rivers on murmuration. Enjoy.
Last Sunday the 23rd of October, we headed into Brisbane’s CBD to document the annual return of the living dead, raising funds and awareness for the Brain Foundation of Australia. It was a huge turnout with thousands of undead roaming the streets of Brisbane complete with police escort, making it officially the worlds biggest zombie walk.
