Landscape painters Adrian and Sue Hunter travelled to a remote fjord in East Iceland for a one month residency. This exhibition is a collaboration based on their observations of an amazing physical environment close to the Arctic circle, with weather patterns vastly different to those at home in sub-tropical Queensland.
The title High Fidelity, on a practical note refers to the creative process - the seeking of a high level of creative integrity, objectivity and faithfulness to colour, light and form. This faithfulness is integral to the personal awareness of the artists’ imagination and plays differently through the individual expression of both artists.
Flynn’s art process includes photography, digital art, and printmaking methods. Generating a unique visual language in her art practice allows play in a ‘grey area’ of life, where she creates an embodied approach to visual communication. Flynn creates artwork to stimulate her thoughts and feelings of transcendence- a moving between worlds, whilst foregrounding the abject nature of her female body and its destiny to return to the earth.
After over fifty years of marriage and a combined busy work life of nearly 100 years, Paul and Judy finally have time to explore their surrounds together, both urban and rural, and to allow creativity that has been relatively dormant up until now to come to surface.
Appreciation of the environment, whatever it may be, is a common element of their art - its colour, form, changeability with the seasons and the interactions within it. Both have developed a reflective approach to life and are observant of people and situations which brings with it a sensitivity to their surroundings.
This exhibition reflects their travels together, showcasing each artist's unique perspective and interpretation of the landscape and moments they've encountered along the way.
