</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">This exhibition ‘Returning to Sydney’ is an artistic voyage through a city. The emphasis is not on the iconic imagery but rather those familiar ‘in-between’ spaces, capturing the everyday detail of how we know, move through, and imprint our values on the city. The spaces we inhabit between work, home and leisure are often the forgotten spaces but they are intrinsic to our experience and understanding of the city. The focus is on the public spaces which we share. This exploration is grounded in an enjoyment and appreciation of the texture of Sydney from the roads that connect us, to the low-lying red roofs and telegraph poles, to the unquestionably beautiful coast line. The approach draws on Chinese freehand brush painting where the purpose is not to simply reproduce the appearance of the subject but to capture its soul.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">This painting needs more work but I enjoy the energy that comes with under-painting a scene and the marks that result. I have used a lot of phthalo blue in this underworking, phthalo is the most over-powering watercolour colour I have come across. It can dominant the work and is hard to control, but it is so beautiful and intense.</div>Nicola Moirhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03694465554864338497noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4414560241615173698.post-83698618645161865572010-11-30T18:30:00.000+11:002010-11-30T18:30:34.849+11:00Returning to Simeon Street<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbf0LabA0W7_U1IHTgkX6XF4oX2SGkFsJcq-blNK-tuuxFuLydci38qHvieviNovH427kTEvT-5NFblgnI1Q_1a91l4tAs7GRVaz865yD7PKhC5bw6A5J8nCEM1RkuSz9pnQQMqqJVevQ/s1600/DSC_0142.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="408" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbf0LabA0W7_U1IHTgkX6XF4oX2SGkFsJcq-blNK-tuuxFuLydci38qHvieviNovH427kTEvT-5NFblgnI1Q_1a91l4tAs7GRVaz865yD7PKhC5bw6A5J8nCEM1RkuSz9pnQQMqqJVevQ/s640/DSC_0142.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Simeon Street Roofs</div><div style="text-align: center;">Mixed Media on Arches Paper</div><div style="text-align: center;">46cm x 38cm </div>Nicola Moirhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03694465554864338497noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4414560241615173698.post-24086011388554958312010-11-25T16:55:00.000+11:002010-11-25T16:55:43.333+11:00From Simeon Street<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV8jYwJ90DO53t-R8m2R_C0_5wz_XAX9bMMOjFDmQfuUr181uqITGzgZN-y8rbbaDbOiCfQG42KYGm8pSNm7bNPd0Q6qB03Buvp7z9ya_wSRRvPHWJazuXlcAap7KfJnHRlXNemVxbT54/s1600/DSC_0130.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="504" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV8jYwJ90DO53t-R8m2R_C0_5wz_XAX9bMMOjFDmQfuUr181uqITGzgZN-y8rbbaDbOiCfQG42KYGm8pSNm7bNPd0Q6qB03Buvp7z9ya_wSRRvPHWJazuXlcAap7KfJnHRlXNemVxbT54/s640/DSC_0130.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> From Simeon Street</div><div style="text-align: center;">Watercolour, Ink, Chinese Paint on Bockingford </div><div style="text-align: center;">33cm x 26cm </div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It is often hard to know when a painting is finished. In watercolour it is really important to be aware of over-working as this can dull a piece irretrievably. Oil and acyclic perhaps more forgiving as paint can be scraped back or painted on fresh. In watercolour I enjoy that each brush stroke is intrinsic to the final painting. Obviously, as a result I am attempting to make each stroke deliberate and beautiful, and also diverse. In these recent pieces I am deliberately exaggerating the under-working to leave some of the rice paper or watercolour paper completely exposed. </div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Today I visit <a href="http://galleryeast.blogspot.com/">Gallery East</a> in Clovelly where my solo show will be in April 2011. The exhibition was another local artist called <a href="http://www.daao.org.au/main/read/7343">Nick Hollo</a>. Like my recent work, he is also inspired by the Sydney landscape as his subject-matter. He uses oil pastels on board to create wonderful bold interpretations of the landscape. </div></div>Nicola Moirhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03694465554864338497noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4414560241615173698.post-65048682291493792982010-10-18T11:05:00.000+11:002010-10-18T11:05:55.119+11:00Clovelly rock walk sketches<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi11j5onE32E61gtaCg_zFvSWvtksbPUlgNVMCsew3YdKwWxgOECzXOfK0mDm4X7KxGBHx1Y15Mg-Xx5WNP6KWKwMNlF98D-_49bmIKM-k7BVOhd_6II1h6pq9sOsUhHp8ZMw0O6E6Bavk/s1600/DSC_1606.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="580" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi11j5onE32E61gtaCg_zFvSWvtksbPUlgNVMCsew3YdKwWxgOECzXOfK0mDm4X7KxGBHx1Y15Mg-Xx5WNP6KWKwMNlF98D-_49bmIKM-k7BVOhd_6II1h6pq9sOsUhHp8ZMw0O6E6Bavk/s640/DSC_1606.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Clovelly Sand</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Watercolour and Chinese Ink on Arches</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> 20cm x 19cm</div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The distinct linear clouds combined with the pattern of rock or sand offers an inspiring reference point. In these small pieces I am using this real-life reference to abstract and suggest. Increasingly, my desire is to abstractly conceive reality in a way that does not purely abstract but rather captures the monumentality of the landscape. I want every brushstroke to express and to have purpose.</div>Nicola Moirhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03694465554864338497noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4414560241615173698.post-55895902493071327102010-10-12T13:22:00.000+11:002010-10-12T13:22:38.963+11:00Coogee Distilled<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrBRRqdUVz3zJkjfDT5BiQLJtBUaEG293UkfGezh4JQ3gPAr7Ijxtg-VK2DWRNRsEBVxrY5wy0BjICCyhediLoKbHc6JZDiNGU4rtQNLlXM-lKHxC5vnDuYx_0d19EoyjAL4gRBBrdcgg/s1600/DSC_1463.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="458" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrBRRqdUVz3zJkjfDT5BiQLJtBUaEG293UkfGezh4JQ3gPAr7Ijxtg-VK2DWRNRsEBVxrY5wy0BjICCyhediLoKbHc6JZDiNGU4rtQNLlXM-lKHxC5vnDuYx_0d19EoyjAL4gRBBrdcgg/s640/DSC_1463.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Coogee Distilled</div><div style="text-align: center;">Watercolour on Arches Paper</div><div style="text-align: center;">47cm x 33cm</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Coogee is a suburb with a distinct visual language. The low-lying red roofs, the use of red brick, the exposed electricity wires, the mature foliage between the buildings. I want to reduce the representation to give a sense of this rhythm so that the painting could be representative of anywhere in the area rather than just a particular view. </div>Nicola Moirhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03694465554864338497noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4414560241615173698.post-34270707197300930282010-10-04T14:21:00.000+11:002010-10-04T14:21:34.567+11:00South Coogee Horizon<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj31Nz8klBjn1l5W8ehK4gCeal6YPm6CjLU1498w0AjsNW8eVD33u1yw_TxTg31JJuZKzuU1DTpY9cDdaj4AReKRjmQfLWSGnUIRJjw_XN9n0ywS2W61V2VZa1tM_KOUVYxO7CBhe1210o/s1600/DSC_1443.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj31Nz8klBjn1l5W8ehK4gCeal6YPm6CjLU1498w0AjsNW8eVD33u1yw_TxTg31JJuZKzuU1DTpY9cDdaj4AReKRjmQfLWSGnUIRJjw_XN9n0ywS2W61V2VZa1tM_KOUVYxO7CBhe1210o/s640/DSC_1443.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">South Coogee Horizon</div><div style="text-align: center;">Watercolour on Arches</div><div style="text-align: center;">58cm x 39cm</div>Nicola Moirhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03694465554864338497noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4414560241615173698.post-40869304899211583332010-09-24T12:40:00.001+10:002010-09-24T12:43:39.168+10:00The in-between spaces<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoDCq5KiEzDwKKrTqosixeEo3mVcpLstt3r9vUCPJgHlsRDjHb0y5mNKSBSqv02Tve9UY9DbAvXjZNbYl-MtyQwolrnR-BtvXDct0h087yuFBbr0Rw39uD88MS291H3qmOe0PkwUPUeTY/s1600/DSC_1267.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="418" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoDCq5KiEzDwKKrTqosixeEo3mVcpLstt3r9vUCPJgHlsRDjHb0y5mNKSBSqv02Tve9UY9DbAvXjZNbYl-MtyQwolrnR-BtvXDct0h087yuFBbr0Rw39uD88MS291H3qmOe0PkwUPUeTY/s640/DSC_1267.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">The in-between space</div><div style="text-align: center;">Watercolour on Arches Paper</div><div style="text-align: center;">57cm x 37cm</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is a painting from a space in-between I found when I was walking from A to B. I love walking. I often walk rather than take the car or bus. It takes me longer but I enjoy it. I enjoy feeling how spaces connect. So often we rely on transport to take us from A to B without enjoying those spaces in-between. I am a fan of the author <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_Self">Will Self</a> who has written a book called <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Psychogeography-Will-Self/dp/0747590338">Psychogeography</a>. Basically, he argues that transport, particularly the car, has removed us from understand our landscape. He proposes that people understand the world as a series of disconnected microcosms without any understand how they relate. To better understand the landscape people should walk more.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">This piece is an experiment using collage and even looser treatment of the landscape. The collage comes from the Southern Courier a local paper that has a large section with local real estate advertisments. The idea was to reference the fundamental aspect of economic value in the construction of the landscape. I really enjoy the work of <span id="goog_387727171"></span><a href="http://www.pbs.org/art21/artists/bradford/index.html#">Mark Bradford<span id="goog_387727172"></span></a> who uses collage in a unique way to create abstract map-like, layered pieces. Bradford finds all the materials used from the street in the form of posters or flyers then reappropriates them as an artwork. </div></div>Nicola Moirhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03694465554864338497noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4414560241615173698.post-34756477612416641652010-09-09T18:47:00.001+10:002011-04-06T12:34:32.668+10:00Abstracting rock patterns<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTxq3PdCrp5fBLVkMLUK3A67ofJUdkr79JH85Gh1DUeFIicghL1EvP8tKlfCuGLw7g_IkD-UeKRDOUn4QaNERaJw_IZFrKagNwBMdp8XcwE7HgBWNMXiMg_GL_sv7maW_iyG35nyKA4aw/s1600/DSC_0985.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="612" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTxq3PdCrp5fBLVkMLUK3A67ofJUdkr79JH85Gh1DUeFIicghL1EvP8tKlfCuGLw7g_IkD-UeKRDOUn4QaNERaJw_IZFrKagNwBMdp8XcwE7HgBWNMXiMg_GL_sv7maW_iyG35nyKA4aw/s640/DSC_0985.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Clovelly and the Vans</div><div style="text-align: center;">Chinese Paint and Ink on Rice Paper</div><div style="text-align: center;">42cm x 40cm</div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">This pathway runs parallel to the coast of Botany Bay and is set within the urban suburb of La Perouse. Yet , at times the density of the forest removes all of these geographical associations for a moment so that the pathway could be anywhere in the bush. I enjoy these spaces in the city where I can feel emersed in 'nature'.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

The exhibition brings together over 150 pieces from Impressionism, Nabis, Fauvism, Cubism and Dada, to name a few. The basic premise of the exhibition challenges the idea of a hegemonic narrative and suggests is that there was no single movement to abstraction in European art but rather the paths to abstraction in were varied and unpredictable. The article can be read <a href="http://newlinearperspectives.wordpress.com/art/paths-to-abstraction/">here </a>in the New Linear Perspectives the literary arts and culture journal. </div>Nicola Moirhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03694465554864338497noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4414560241615173698.post-52661435045693932952010-09-01T13:59:00.001+10:002010-09-04T09:42:25.710+10:00Watson Bay Boat Sketch<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUA1nEhKc7ZwNHZSRYoG9fqzH4OfFZVXxvLIrGi_1CGV5SqEL4fCGlTVkD_rvd1FCShAplm2GGosfMPaRjdxndYcZIYqwOB0kk_7wirPumvT-AVuP37Ta-ro8BIzKOAQZHn3SONs1E7w8/s1600/DSC_0742.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="452" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUA1nEhKc7ZwNHZSRYoG9fqzH4OfFZVXxvLIrGi_1CGV5SqEL4fCGlTVkD_rvd1FCShAplm2GGosfMPaRjdxndYcZIYqwOB0kk_7wirPumvT-AVuP37Ta-ro8BIzKOAQZHn3SONs1E7w8/s640/DSC_0742.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Watson Bay Boat Sketch </div><div style="text-align: center;">Watercolour, Ink and Chinese Paint on Arches 300gsm</div><div style="text-align: center;">33cm x 24cm</div>Nicola Moirhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03694465554864338497noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4414560241615173698.post-44521557808133693452010-08-29T20:18:00.002+10:002010-08-29T20:19:00.290+10:00Watsons Bay Californian Bugalow<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI1h_qOMCkpVH21z-F_SKE29O8EkmvIl8tzIsQeSkjRIJSBwycPWhAZWQVJRG7Qxm1rnOPgimG_2SnYBpG6CD8W0QnXWf3Hr3gj3BTSdSHf2PaId0DtjcyabkEXMDUD4vNqtUpevJHCM4/s1600/a.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="462" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI1h_qOMCkpVH21z-F_SKE29O8EkmvIl8tzIsQeSkjRIJSBwycPWhAZWQVJRG7Qxm1rnOPgimG_2SnYBpG6CD8W0QnXWf3Hr3gj3BTSdSHf2PaId0DtjcyabkEXMDUD4vNqtUpevJHCM4/s640/a.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Watson Bay Californian Bungalow</div><div style="text-align: center;">Watercolour on Arches Paper</div><div style="text-align: center;">75cm x 56cm</div>Nicola Moirhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03694465554864338497noreply@blogger.com1
