I have now just completed the fourth series on the subject, Portrait of Kangaroo. It captures the individual characteristics of these wonderful animals. Our national icon. In this particular drawing, I decided to throw caution to the wind and just have some fun. The drawing is a true and accurate view from our kitchen window with some of my partners (Wink) roadside rescued kangaroos lounging around in the back-yard on a foggy winter morning. My drawing style is simple but expressive. At a distance, my style gives the impression that it’s highly detailed drawing, yet that is not the case at all. If anything, it’s a fast nervous gesture of energetic lines, washed, patterns, doodles and whatever else happens. Yet, it happens under control. I like to work on a large scale as this offers the capacity of full-arm movement. I love line in motion. Each line/mark always has a begging point and an endpoint. Some end with a solid hard black aggressive brick wall while others wisp away into infinity like the transient flick of a whisker seen while the animal is eating or curiously sniffing the air. I also love the sterility of large plain white space against the chaos of fast black drawing. Having come from a working life in Design and Film Set design, I have often fallen into the trap of overthinking my work. This process used to be critical as many scripting objectives had to be met, Engineering structures such as ships, boats, and buildings had to perform to expectations and not simply be aesthetically pleasing. Yet, such thinking is more often, than not, a massive hindrance to the expressive arts. It kills the spirit of free flow. It makes the work contrived. You will see some of these sins raising their heads in a few of the pieces in this exhibition. It’s important they are there and not culled. This is me as a sum total result of my life experience, as a person/artist with no remorse. *Plz be aware that the price of this drawing includes, frame, crate construction, professional packaging and freight from my studio in Australia.
