In life, it&#8217;s the subtle things that make all the difference.  Take body language &#8211; a wink can me a sign of affection, sleaziness, humour or insincerity.  In art, it&#8217;s the same, with subtle differences in colour, light and shade giving new meaning to the images.

The Fauvist period of art was like a firey relationship &#8211; lots of fun but way too short.  It lasted for only three years, from 1905 to 1907, where Matisse and Derain pioneered the simplification and abstraction of the preceding impressionist style. Huseyin Sami wishes he was there for that time, where.  Instead, he has [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve long been an admirer of Jasper Knight&#8217;s use of primary acrylic colours in large-format works, and have even tried to imitate them myself (with results that are consistent if only in their mediocrity).
So, when visiting Melbourne on the weekend, I was delighted to wander past his latest exhibition at Armadale&#8217;s Metro Gallery.  When entering [...]]]></description>

They say that it&#8217;s natural for man to be at one with nature, but for many of us, our relationship with nature is distant at best.  I, for one, can&#8217;t remember the last time I stepped in grass with bare feet (too many needles) and have never once successfully grown anything more substantial than a [...]]]></description>

Nanami Cowdroy has a wonderful Japanese-European name, and this cross-cultural heritage is also reflected in her ink-based illustrations on paper.
Cowdroy&#8217;s art has the flavour of yakuza (Japanese gang) or polynesian tattoos, with its organic shapes, use of negative space and painstaking detail.  Yet the themes are very contemporary, including urban decay, graffitti and environmental issues.
