September 2016 - solo exhibition .....
solo exhibition ..... KARYN FENDLEY - Sun and Shadow
Karyn Fendley’s dramatic
landscape paintings, with their bright skies, deep shadows and silhouettes,
capture the essence of sunny beaches on summer days.
After spending time at various
beaches along the north coast last summer, Fendley returned to the studio to
produce this series of paintings that explore extremes of lightness and
darkness, and the transient liminal spaces created by shadows.
“I hope
to capture the spirit of the Australian landscape and share my experience of
the natural world through my artwork.
My process begins with time spent exploring the
locations that inspire my work. To research this sun and shadow series I spent
time taking photographs and sketching on the beaches of the Arawal, Bundjalung
and Yuraygir national parks, that stretch between Byron Bay & Wooli in
Northern NSW.
After spending time in the field, I return to
the studio and translate my experiences of the place into composite images
sourced from my sketches and photographs, blending memory and observation. I am interested in what we notice and what we remember
about a place and focus on those elements rather than trying to record every
detail. I carefully arrange the
elements to achieve dramatic, yet harmonious images that invite contemplating
viewing.
I believe that while spending time in nature or
when looking at images of nature, we become aware of our own small place in the
world, bringing a little perspective into our lives.” Karyn Fendley
