Rosemary Clark
Patterns and Perspectives
13 - 24 July 2022
G3
Opening Night
Friday 15th July | 6pm – 8pm
◼︎
In Patterns and Perspectives, Rosemary Clark continues her exploration of cropping and framing as compositional devices. Adjusting the focus, and the viewer’s perspective, can result in sometimes dramatic changes in imagery and mood, a process she finds endlessly fascinating. Rosemary also uses this tight framing to find a way towards abstraction, although the paintings are essentially figurative. In most cases, the works in this exhibition are based on scarves we wear to brighten chilly winter days.
Rosemary’s natural interest in the visual arts was stimulated during her work for the Philatelic Group at Australia Post. During her 20 year career there, she worked with graphic designers, artists and illustrators, photographers and cartoonists, commissioned to produce artwork for Australian stamps.
This later inspired her to undertake a Diploma of Visual Art at Victoria University. She works primarily with oil paint and is interested in the emotional impact of colour and the aesthetic qualities of abstraction. Her work sits in the space between figuration and abstraction.
