Chris Humphries - Drawn In: 21 Sept - 7th October
Opening Friday 21st September from 6pm
Drawing is at forefront of my Visual Arts practice. It is the underpinning for everything that I currently create. The unassuming act of making marks on a piece of paper to create an image, this simple act creates the complexity within the work I create. The instantaneous results from drawing excite me as well as, the natural inclination to experiment when I draw. My work conveys my passion and dedication towards worthy draughtsmanship.
My core theme is based around the concept of landscape as; a memory and perception. I present my imagery as an emotive response rather than a precise rendering of the landscape. The backdrop for this work is locales such as Hanging Rock in Central Victoria, Bruny Island in Tasmania and fragments of Melbourne’s rivers and waterways. My fascination with the landscape has lead me to create drawings that explore the ideas formulated from the landscape as well as associated concepts such as identity, historical context, fictional narratives and environmental issues.
