The Gin Gin Courthouse Gallery is delighted to present "Wild Boundaries" by Gin Gin Wildlife artist, Gary Woodfield.
Gary
writes: “I like to think of my art as one continuing mural depicting a never
ending story of wildlife scenarios. I
feel more connected to my paintings when I am actually portraying a wild
habitat surrounding my chosen subject matter.
I get a lot of inspiration from my local rugged wilderness, which for me
is very fortunate for my research into various forms of wildlife.
NO
BRUSHES are used to create my artworks.
I practice ancient traditional techniques such as etching and scratching
methodologies onto my canvas. Using an
earthly colour pallet of acrylic paints blended with red soil, allows me to
visualize a unique perspective similar to that of animals which see colour in
restricted vision. It is these
techniques which draw an audience into the depth of my work creating that
instant ‘eye contact’. I rely on
natural found objects like bark off trees, pine quills from branches and
various other items such as sponges, skewers, cotton buds to create my artworks
rich with detail.”
Visit
