Compose/Compost
Crossbay Gallery at the Fountain at Kings Cross presents a new exhibition
17 Dec ‘07 - 12 Jan ‘08.

‘Compose/Compost’ includes four Sydney artists, representing a variety of ages, cultural backgrounds, personal attitudes, art philosophies and practices:

Cecile Pauly (Painting, Mixed Media)
Anastasia Flanagan (Traditionally-based Creative Painting, Book Illustration and Batik Techniques)
Susan Laurent (Conceptual Ceramics and painting)
Carolyn Teo (Photography, Electronic Sound, Mixed Media)
Wun Thong (A Sydney cultural and sound media phenomena)

Anastasia Flanagan’s exploration of the topography of Cooks River area pre-colonial and current time produced richly coloured oil paintings and batik hangings which were exhibited in ‘Enviro-flections’ exhibition for World Environment Day, at Kirribilli in 2006. She learned batik artwork while living at Lightening Ridge for many years, and the colours of the area including opals have strongly influenced her. Some of her work for this exhibition contains personally imaginative, emotive and mythological images of birds/humans.

Susan Laurent’s conceptual ceramic work, dating from Sydney Collage education, has in recent years extended into illustration and painting. Her work tends to be well informed, minimalist, subtle and elegant.

Cecile Pauly has recently focussed on paintings motivated by environment/health and uses some script/drawing as well as abstraction including plant imagery.

Carolyn Teo’s studies in Photography at Sydney College of Arts were followed by a year in Canada studying electronic media and sound. Her recent participation in ‘Sounds of Failure’ in Sydney included a successful presentation with ‘Wun Thong’, of her electronic and mixed media work.

Aspects of physical, emotional and cultural health in our environment are foundations / motivations behind much of the work.

In ‘Compose/Compost’, the environmental interests of the four artists are reflected directly in the subject matter of vegetation/gardens, of humans/birds; and indirectly in the use of electronic sound and ‘found’/recycled’ objects. Environmental interest is a consideration in the motivation for a subtle, formally-based ceramic work which immediately requires focussed contemplation, while two paintings relate to experienced physical/emotional stress.

The four artists share common interest in environmental concerns, and in full lives have been involved in related studies and practices around their artwork, ranging from bush regeneration (Carolyn Teo), to teaching batik with natural dyes (Anastasia Flanagan), to involvement with arts and crafts classes for ‘the elderly’ (Cecile Pauly), teaching ceramics (Susan Laurent), and natural health practice (Susan Laurent).
