A psychological effect<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

There seems to be an almost psychological effect that the landscape of central Australia has on artists who enjoy painting landscapes \u2013 an underlying visual attraction to this arid and sparse landscape is to a certain extent the vividness of the colours (which most of us tend to exaggerate!) and the very interesting scale of the vegetation ranging from quite large trees to very small bushes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps we could nearly say that\u00a0Fred Williams<\/a>\u00a0more or less discovered the desert landscape back in the 70\u2019s, but Bela Ivanyi has really made it his own back yard as you will see from some of his work. We now have a situation where a lot of artists who mainly live in cities on the coast also feel attracted to this seemingly unfriendly environment. Maybe the knowledge that the landscape is harsh and unfriendly is what is attractive to artists who like working in this area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bela Ivanyi Plein Air Paintings From Ross River<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Bela Ivanyi, Fresh Thistles on the Flood Plain – Ross River, 455mm x 570mm<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Below are some of the plein air painting done by Bela around the Ross River area in central Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are sketches on watercolour paper and most of them are done with Atelier Free Flow<\/a> which most of us like using at this location because of its vivid colours and gouache like surface appearance, but with the advantage of being over paintable because it has an acrylic base. Of course the paintings are also tough because of the acrylic base, whereas traditional gouache will be fragile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of these paintings were part of a 2019 exhibition, Converstaions with Alice<\/em>, at\u00a0Gallery Lane Cove<\/a>\u00a0in Sydney, AU. Work shown was from artists who attended the Ross River Resort in central Australia in July 2018, organized annually by artist\u00a0Bela Ivanyi<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
