Featured Studio
Jodi Clark and Chris Lambert
Jodi uses line and composition to make statements of form and the complexities of visual language. Current works are an exploration of colour, modernism, decoration and the syntax of shapes.
Mediums: Painting – Acrylic
Chris prefers to draw spontaneously, using charcoal which I make myself.
I try to allow a bit of the human condition to poke through in my art, no matter what the subject is.
Mediums: Drawing – Charcoal
