Under Your Skin explores the realms of reality, imagination, and connection, through the mediums of sound, print, paint and installation. Intimacy, awareness, advocacy, research and questions have emerged from this collective of artists conversing with the theme through literal, metaphorical and whimsical perspectives.
This is an Art Month Sydney Event
Amanda Bentley
Amanda Bentley investigates painting the film still and deals with the issues of the story- board, and the conceptuali- sation and development of a moving image media-based artwork. The history of art and film; and other associated media is considered both in relation to key technical and conceptual developments as well as changes in painting and new media reception and dissemination.
My main area of studio specialisation is painting. I am interested in the film still and the images of thought it presents to the viewer. I like the philosophical concepts that are understood on their own terms, and the language required to probe and interpret the hidden meanings that are found within the image.
Da Claong
Da Claong creates expressions that emerge through chance and the passing of time. An emotion, a fleeting thought, or a sensation may be revealed. Colours, shapes and shades search for meanings and possibilities, making connections from reality to imagination. What could have been said, or may have been heard? Was it as it was, or could it be the residues of coincidence and consequence?
Jeanie Ho
Jeanie Ho works with paper. Her practice is a devotion to time as she traces out chases of fine lines drawing up mundane happenings in quotidian living. She is constantly looking into a treatment to balance rational and irrational aspects of self, occurring in a same minute. She is fascinated with presenting metaphysical quality of emotional tensions depicted with the physicality of materials. Jeanie draws up inspirations from reminiscence and the notion of looking backwards, which creates an endless cycle of conflict in herself as she moves forward in life.
Tilly Lees
Tilly Lees is an Australian artist based in Sydney, working across painting, sculpture, drawing, printmaking and installation. Her practice explores internal and external forces that surround the human form. Investigating cultural, physical and psychological bias and injustice.
Clache Raong
Clache Raong explores ephemera through sound and structures. Quirky with a nostalgic sensibility, works may lament loss, yet also seek to find hope. The human voice, a familiar melody, what might have been said, or not been heard, could be the catalyst for creation. Experiments and discoveries become avenues to negotiate spaces of flux.
Linelle Stepto
Linelle Stepto is an artist whose practice reflects professional studies at Sydney University, Sydney College of the Arts and RMIT in Melbourne. She is currently working towards completing Postgraduate studies at Sydney College of the Arts. Stepto’s practice employs sculpture, sound, video and photography to examine relationships between living systems, human and non-human.
