Michael Taylor mimics the immediate and expansive nature of the drawing process in order to develop scenes and characters in his painted work. Removed from its purely observational qualities, drawing becomes a projection of the artist’s intuition, imagination and memory. Representational and figurative elements in Taylor’s paintings create narrative frameworks that are unravelled to varying degrees through abstract marking.

Elefteria Vlavianos was born in Zimbabwe of mixed Armenian and Greek heritage and now lives in Sydney. She is an abstract painter whose visual practice has developed through an ongoing investigation into the process of abstraction, its vocabulary and conventions. Elefteria, works across mediums in painting that include oil, acrylic and wax mediums. Imagery in her paintings is derived from her on going research into Armenian textile crafts, gospel paintings and inherited cultural objects. Continued conceptual themes within her practice, are time, presence, renewal and memory as they tie into a dialogue between representation, visibility and abstract painting. In this framework issue such a colour, structure, and mark making are key concerns as they translate across time and space; and between idioms in painting as well as cultural practices.
