The artworks of Connie Petrillo

In conversation with Connie Petrillo, she told me the humans within these pictures are not real they've been made from a computer program by the artist as digital images on paper and at the moment in this world (I think I could be wrong) so far, they remain as just an image on paper.

 But when these aforementioned images  become forms and attain artificial life like qualities  what will happen, I am not sure. The world is changing rapidly and as artificial intelligence is moving quickly into robotics, I think what will life be like in the near future. Will it be real or fake?

Small solo exhibition by Western Australian watercolourist Sally Douglas

This small solo exhibition at 2 Dogs Art Space Akashi presents the Western Australian painter Sally Douglas whose studio praxis is located in the northern coastal suburbs of Perth. Sally Douglas was born in London, UK and has lived in Western Australia for many years.

 

Sally Douglas has been a professional artist since 1986. She has been influenced by eastern art as well as European watercolour and egg tempera painting. Underlying all her work is her love of watching and being in nature and emphasising its preciousness.

Autumn

 watercolour, 

36 cm wide x 54 cm high

Within these selected works on show it’s obvious to see Douglas’s sensibility in watercolour through her daring liminal applications of tinted mixed coloured water traces placed with outstanding confidence from sable brushes onto paper that creates the desired forms within the completed image.

 Prey 

watercolour,

 size 37cm wide x 28cm high

Douglas exhibits watercolour painting at its very best. For example, in her watercolour titled ‘Prey' there is an owl on the hunt at that fleeting time when day turns into night, where human sight loses its clarity due to the approaching nocturne. This can be seen in the surrounding bush as its hues, tones and contrast have started merging together. Here the owl’s vision has been enhanced, as it is a creature of the night and powerfully flies towards its intended target.

In ‘Prey' Douglas has produced some highly observed brush traces on paper of the fleeting light. The camouflage for the owl within the onset of darkness gives the birds flight a surety towards its anticipated feed Douglas’s praxis reveals her wonderful receptivity to the natural world in watercolour painting. Please enjoy this small exhibition.
