Visual Feast
Local Artist Dawn Beasley’s work explores multiple contrasts: between natural and man-made, subtle and intense, tone and colour, smooth against rough, plain against pattern.
“As an artist I am constantly drawn to interesting interplays between contrasting surfaces, textures and colours. The luscious luminosity of ripe grapes against the hard brightly coloured surface of a ceramic plate set against soft folds of fabric creates all kinds of layered visual poetry. In “Sugar Hit ” the visual cacophony of hard and soft vibrantly coloured surfaces designed by both man and nature is all about temptation… this work aims to make you salivate!”
These two works are part of an on-going series of work that explores food as a subject matter (see "Dinner with DeHeem") and were exhibited in a group show at Darwin Visual Arts Association in 2013.
