‘Still’ is an exhibition of still-life paintings that explore inherent human capacities for observation and reflection. Presented by South Australian artists Louise Feneley, Lisa Young and Lisa Losada, these works celebrate light, stillness, and momentariness; reminding viewers of the dedication and patience required for a skilled painting-based art practice.
Feneley’s eloquent canvasses of playful, alternative still-life compositions and landscapes are imbued with imagination and emotion. Brushstrokes are barely evident in Young’s precise and ordered still-life compositions, and Losada, an emerging painter, presents atmospheric landscape works that are products of her visits to unoccupied and isolated locations north of Adelaide. They explore the nature of solitude and its emotional topology.
