Robyn has a joint exhibition at Gallery Pejean in Launceston. I have included a link to Robyn's website as it shows the work in a larger format, as well as having a statement above the pics.]]> 2020-04-06 04:04:04 UTC https://padlet.com/johnrobinson3/ReadingGroupApril2020/wish/493955310 johnrobinson3 https://padlet.com/johnrobinson3/ReadingGroupApril2020/wish/493959623 In an email that Robyn sent me she mentions earlier work and using digital images using a printmaking method.
"Screen printing is where it started when I first had an exhibition at Sawtooth in Launceston 2015. I started doing RISO prints on paper then adding to it with black and white acrylic. I then tried doing the same thing on canvas but adding oil paint. Initially it was about using Google Earth images of coastlines in Tas where windsurfers were uploading their GPS tracks. I was more or less sailing vicariously with paint and being fairly truthful to their tracks. I've given up doing that now though but I've kept the digital technology with photographs of waves or rocks. The lines are still there in a different form."

TRACE & TRANSIT 2 A Port Dalrymple - is from the 2015 exhibition.]]> 2020-04-06 04:12:19 UTC https://padlet.com/johnrobinson3/ReadingGroupApril2020/wish/493959623 johnrobinson3 https://padlet.com/johnrobinson3/ReadingGroupApril2020/wish/493964778 2020-04-06 04:21:17 UTC https://padlet.com/johnrobinson3/ReadingGroupApril2020/wish/493964778 johnrobinson3 https://padlet.com/johnrobinson3/ReadingGroupApril2020/wish/493971782 Zoe is an "emerging artist" who has a show at Despard gallery in Hobart.
Her work also has a coastal focus, Marawah on the NW coast, where Zoe grew up. Her work is abstract with large thick brush strokes and minimal detail. The places that she is depicting are not instantly recognisable, unless you know the area around Marawah well.]]> 2020-04-06 04:33:50 UTC https://padlet.com/johnrobinson3/ReadingGroupApril2020/wish/493971782 johnrobinson3 https://padlet.com/johnrobinson3/ReadingGroupApril2020/wish/493981287 Jock Young is currently showing at Handmark in Hobart.
His style is a little more formal than Robyn and Zoe. Again he focuses on coastal scenes. There is a video link from the gallery page, it has some great insights as to artists who have influenced Jock.]]> 2020-04-06 04:51:18 UTC https://padlet.com/johnrobinson3/ReadingGroupApril2020/wish/493981287 johnrobinson3 https://padlet.com/johnrobinson3/ReadingGroupApril2020/wish/495914821 Jerry Saltz's Rules for Being an Artist]]> 2020-04-07 01:11:51 UTC https://padlet.com/johnrobinson3/ReadingGroupApril2020/wish/495914821 johnrobinson3 https://padlet.com/johnrobinson3/ReadingGroupApril2020/wish/499765141 Hopefully you have found something of interest amongst all of this information. I did think about some sort of online chat ..... but I am starting to go a bit crazy from being online.

If you have some comments or questions, you can start your own padlet account and make comments on this padlet directly. www.padlet.com

Or email me at movingcreature@gmail.com 
I will then add the comments etc to the padlet and put it up on the blog page of www.movingcreaturestudio.com - Finish date will be Friday 17th April.

Thanks for taking the time to be interested.
