Behind the Canvas
By Abode 2
Ahead of the our Summer Champagne Design & Interiors Networking Reception, Abode2 visits The ARX to go Behind the Canvas, to the curated exhibition of international artists that explores the varied techniques and application of mediums used to illuminate the artists’ cerebral processes and visions, including artist-in-residence, Raine Storey.
The exhibition showcase a strong dialogue of the abstract between the bold canvases created through their shapes, colours, forms and gestural marks.
Heavily influenced by nature, Maria Jose Benvenuto explores visual ways to navigate the current world. Working from memory, Benvenuto connects with her audience through abstracted representation; a soft curve becomes a wave, or a gestural mark represents long grass. Her works explore the textural and technical, probing the viewer to approach the canvas and appreciate the organic aesthetic of her works which are inspired by her Australian surroundings.
