MUSIC
MUSIC is my last piece of an urban landscapes set called “The sky over Melbourne”
This set has been developed between 2014 and 2016 through live studious of the city, investigating the landscape and the colours of the nature spreads on that.
Music is not just a descriptive representation of a city foreshortening, but it brings itself and show out a dialectic between outside and inside .It represent different kind of surfaces operating at both a visual and an emotional level; a windows over the meeting point of my life and my research.
Music is a big mixed technique. It is made up of multiple layers of newspapers and music magazines, collage, acrylic paints, markers, crayons, pencils. Much like a city, slowly but constantly changing over time, Music has been shaped and re-shaped by a continuous building up and peeling of layers in a dialogue between the residue of the previous representation an the next pictorial layer.
The picture represents the multi-faceted nature of city life. A sense of instability and adaptation is given by the slightly lopsided perspective, whereas the layers represent a nexus of unrelated threads of life coming together. Visually, the layers give rise to the elements of the landscape; emotionally, they expose different aspects of personal significance. The written words records my attempt to learn a new language. Scraps of floral patterns as part of my favourite drawing subject. Naked women is a piece of my art studio's wallpaper, and remind to an ancient period when here, native Aboriginal people, used to live directly in contact with the nature and their Dream Time myth. Possum is a leaf from my sketchbook.
The title “music” has been chosen to express the colours vibes, and the rhythm to which the structure of the canvas swings and it also represents the rhythm of life in the city.`
