A NEW SIDE VIEW
Isabella & Daniel Wickham
On view 18 – 31 August
Official Function Saturday 23rd August 3-6pm.
Conceptual artists who have abandoned the traditional canvas, choosing instead a bespoke medium to challenge and expand the boundaries of painting. Their work offers a fresh perspective on the discipline, reimagining what a painted surface can be. Serious in craft but playfully irreverent in spirit, they don’t take art too seriously—only seriously enough to reinvent it. As a systematic subversive, they disrupt expectations with intention and clarity. Rather than serving a new dish, they introduce an entirely new cuisine to the art world.
Seal
My ‘Seal’ Painting was Inspired by a photograph I was drawn to from a calendar. I used the clear canvas to represent the crystal clear ocean waters and I used a solid base to create the look of a white sandy ocean floor for the happy seal to rest on.
Ocean
My Painting, ‘Ocean’ is one of my favourite pieces and my most detailed work yet. A girl laying off her board in the shallow blue.I wanted to paint different shades of blue for the background to represent the colours of a healthy reef, along with the sunshine shining directly on the girls right side. I wanted to replicate the feeling of comfort over the stunning clear waters of the great barrier’s reefs.
Fish outta water
My Painting ‘Fish outta water’ shows a young girl sitting on her longboard stuck in the breaks drifting deep, I wanted to represent the colours ascending from the shallows to the depths. I aimed to resemble the adrenaline of being stuck in a strong set of crashing waves from a Birds Eye view.
Their Brains
My ‘Their Brains’ Painting was my second Clear Canvas painting ever done, painted outside under the trees of my backyard, i experimented with a variety of funky colours, i wanted the wind blowing the painted circles in all different directions to create its own pattern.
