  • Jasper Knight Cv
    JASPER KNIGHT BORN 1978 Sydney, Australia STUDIES 2002-2003 Master of Arts (majoring in painting + drawing) The College of Fine Arts, UNSW, Sydney 1997-1999 Bachelor of Visual Arts – electronic + temporal arts, Sydney College of the Arts,University of Sydney BACKGROUND Jasper’s work has blurred the boundaries between high art and amateur photography, between sculpture and painting. His works are often an assemblage of plywood, perspex, cardboard boxes, and old signs and are remanent of the found objects used in the Dada, Surrealist, Fluxus and Pop Art movements. However, Jasper has combined the industrial materials of his painting surface with traditional art methods, which provide a certain amount of texture and sculptural form while still having an important link to the subject. “My work has always straddled painting and the constructed object. In the past, my materials have added to the narrative content, or sometimes to the context, of the depicted scenes. My recent work has explored this relationship between material and subject, between constructed object and painted surface, in a more abstract way. The subject matter, from wharves to cars, from chairs to landscape, helps explore these binary concerns and is treated in a highly architectural and linear way.” His focus is often the busy waterway, machinery at work or the remnants of an old factory; painted in blocks of colour that drip and spill over his brightly coloured and shiny surfaces to give the illusion of movement within the landscape. Jasper has held successful exhibitions throughout Australia and in London, Berlin and Beijing. He has been a finalist in the Archibald, Wynne and Mosman Art prizes and is represented in corporate and private collections throughout Australia.

  • William Edwin Pidgeon Was Born in 1909 at Paddington, Sydney
    William Edwin Pidgeon (WEP) 1909- 1981 Page | 1 Summary Bill Pidgeon’s career spanned from the mid-1920s through the 1970s. He started out in the newspaper industry and quickly forged a name in the local Sydney press, known as “Wep”. In 1933 he helped create the dummy for The Australian Women’s Weekly with his friend and the magazine’s first editor, George Warnecke. Working for Consolidated Press he became well known throughout Australia for his political cartoons, comic strips, illustrations, his covers and war paintings for The Australian Women’s Weekly, which are now collectables today. However, Bill’s true passion was his painting and in January 1949 he resigned from Consolidated Press to focus on winning Australia’s most prestigious prize for portraiture, the Archibald Prize. Not only did he achieve that aim but he won the award three times. However, his earlier career always overshadowed the success of his painting with headlines such as “Cartoonist wins Archibald.” In 1956 he was diagnosed with glaucoma in both eyes and underwent a total of six operations on his eyes to remove cataracts and ultimately his eye lenses. By the 1970s he was deemed legally blind. The difficulties he faced with his eyesight were always kept very private for fear of losing valuable commissions. Shortly after Bill’s glaucoma diagnosis he was invited by the Romanian Government to visit Romania on a Cultural Exchange trip. It was his only trip overseas despite a yearning to see the works of the great masters of Europe since the late 1920s. In addition to Romania, Bill took the opportunity to visit Rome and Venice in Italy, Munich in Germany, Vienna and Budapest whilst in transit to Bucharest, Romania.

  • Tax Matters for the Arts
    www.lowensteinsarts.com.au NEWSLETTERNEWSLETTER JUNE APR 20132012 Tax Matters for the Arts Second win for Archibald Prize ou can imagine how YDel Kathryn Barton, a Sydney born artist, must be feeling after her triumph in taking the prestigious prize for the second time. Ms Barton blitzed the strong field of 39 finalists with her portrait of Australian actor, Hugo Weaving, to be awarded the coveted prize by the Art Gallery of New South Wales. Along with the prestige of winning the 2013 Archibald Prize, Ms Barton also went home with a cheque for $75,000 for her efforts. Her depiction of Weaving holding a wildcat intrigued the judges and fascinated the competitive field of 865-plus rivals. Ms Barton explained that the cat represented other facets of Mr Weaving’s personality. The cat, she said, had come up in conversation with the actor about what was close to his heart. Ms Barton told ABC News: “When he was talking about animals that he might potentially identify with, there was the idea of the wildcat hugo, by Del Kathryn Barton, Courtesy of Art Gallery of New South Wales or the leopard or the wolf.” “So in the end it was a kind of generic wildcat Weaving himself has also been keenly sought after for artists to paint. Last to represent other facets of his personality”, year he sat for Nicholas Harding as an Archibald entrant. she said. Since graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of New South Mr Weaving was reportedly happy with the Wales in 1993, Del Kathryn Barton has built an enviable following with regular watercolour, acrylic and gouache portrait.

  • Nigel Milsom Judo-House Part 9 (Birdland)
    Nigel Milsom Judo-House part 9 (birdland) 27/03/21 – 08/05/21 Nigel Milsom, Judo-House part 9 (birdland), 2021, oil on linen, 180.00 x 125.00 x 3.50 cm It is with great pleasure that The Commercial presents Nigel Milsom – Judo-House part 9 (birdland) and to announce the artist’s representation by the gallery. Nigel Milsom is a painter of abstractions that he dresses in attributes of real life. Formal contestations within each painting and within the exhibition (light versus dark, motion versus stasis, ruin versus heroism, advantage and disadvantage) slip into more complex and more personal structures. Judo-House part 9 (birdland) is part social history, stories of coal pits and their soft flesh and feathered inhabitants, part family album and pantheon of aspiring contenders. Pathos of workers, qualifying by weight, punching above anonymity and above humility. A dialectic of unskilled champions. Milsom’s figures are scaffolded with construction lines as though bodies were geometric form, faces gridded-up like a signwriter’s preparatory frame. The studies of anatomy and motion of Leonardo and Muybridge pull away from art towards trade. Over the two decades of his professional career, Milsom has often turned to birds as subjects of his artworks (paintings but also video). They represent what is both human and not human. Innocence integrated to industry and myth. Conundrums of use value. The funereal cry of black cockatoos (Calyptorhynchus funereus) answers despair. Nigel Milsom (b. 1975, Albury, NSW) received a Master of Fine Arts (Research) from the College of Fine Arts, University of New South Wales, Sydney in 2002.
