Danielle Joy Golding Art exhibition Painting

“On the symmetry of her psyche, and some other works”

Introducing a collection of works in the same format, all being 60 cms by 90cms, on plywood, painted in oil and varnished, a major theme and a few others but basically of different individual models with different compositions, presented as the same theme, “models “.

That vary in colour and schematic placement, moving from a consumerism and accessibility of models to an interpreted aesthetics , an artistic observation. The models are themselves painted realistically, are cued with varying colours and backgrounds and background Inclusions, a series all of beauty and aesthetics, and maybe a narrative involved in the story , the story included within the paintings , i.e. and we ask, Where is the model ? Or what is she doing? Changing in an inspiring way of human frailty and delicacy, to be appreciated again, the scene of and story of them, leaving the viewer perhaps with a glimpse of beauty. Seen through the eyes of an artist, a glimpse of female human aesthetics, of consumerism and the model and the industry/ market, where the model has been appraised and rehumanised, and her aesthetics are looked at, valued ,to be appreciated. Hope, to the barrenness of lifelessness , of ourselves , which we ask, And is beauty as humorous as it is rare? As we appreciate here, the examples of aesthetics .

The others here in the exhibition are paintings of the 2020 Bushfires, the movement of the flames, of bushfires early this year, and some Redly Caped Extinction Rebels /Activists and a landscape and another miscellaneous, mysterious work of a strange characteress indeed.

A fastly completed body of work, done during the Covid 19 crises of 2020 during social restriction and social distancing and even lockdown, showing some angst and anguish from us all during the time.

In the past an extraordinary range of subjects have been shown, from musicians, actors, politicians including the NSW Premier, Mayor of Willoughby, Anthony Mundeen, Tony Abbott, Leo Sawyer, the then Prime Minister John Howard, Madame Lash, Elizabeth Cummings, Professor Bruce James Brew, and Jaiwei, (a winner of the Sulman.)

Selected works are now available for viewing and sale in the online gallery.

Anna Wheeler graduated from the National Art School in the year 2000.She is a painter currently living in Darlinghurst who has had over 10 solo exhibitions since art school. She describes her painting as abstract figurative.She loves colour in her paintings and of course in her life!

Some of her favourite artists are Basquiat, Willem De Kooning, Chagall and Frida Kahlo. She says “I paint mainly from my imagination and my dreams of this wild world we live in! I let my brush do the talking.I use energetic brush strokes and wild colour.I like the paint thickly and richly layered and textured.

This current body of work has a number of influences such as Feminism, the Australian bushfires of 2020 and of course the current global pandemic Corona Virus.Her painting made this year “Pink Sphinx in Corona Times” is a dreamlike image of how suddenly the Corona Virus was “everywhere,surrounding all of us.The Sphinx is surrounded by Corona but yet she remains strong and beautiful.It is a painting saying there is hope.We will get through this..”

Anna has been a finalist in many group art prizes such as the Brett Whiteley Travelling Scholarship,Mosman Art Prize,Lloyd Rees Art Prize and Waverly Art Prize.She is in Australian collections aswell as international collections such as France,England,China and Thailand.

Anna was exhibited in the International Women’s Day Prize at TAP GALLERY twice. She received 2nd prize one year and this year received 1st prize for the People’s Choice Award.

WOMEN IN TUBS AND WASH BASKETS – Vee Malnar 21st Sept – 1st Oct Opening Night Tuesday 22 Sept 6-9pm Artist’s Talk and music Sunday 27 Sept 4-7pm

Vee is a multi-media artist, playwright, painter, and performer. Her resume includes volumes of work as a visual artist, singer-songwriter and short film maker. Her plays have been performed in Short and Sweet Sydney, and her music profiles Ana Key and the Underdogs (Squeeze Records) and Matriarch. She is a graduate of Wollongong University’s Creative Arts Course and since 1987 has sold a number of works through solo and group exhibitions. She has previously run Mamapalooza events in Sydney generating more creativity for mothers in the arts. 

Vee, unconventional by nature, portrays the unusual importance of domesticity in her paintings. Having juggled a busy life of going to work, mothering and housework, her ideas on canvas portray a snapshot of ordinary life, but with an absurd tone. There is often a political statement, subtle or wildly over the top. Kitchen sinks, washing baskets, mops, brooms and vacuum cleaners, all taking the limelight and delighting the eye with humour, colour and imagination. But underlying the playful subject matter could be a controversial discourse about housework, the division of labour, and women’s continuing efforts to achieve equality.

“Housework is still overwhelmingly done by women even though many also work like their husbands, and most childcare is still women’s responsibility. The division of housework is politics at play in the home…Housework should be paid work, like all other jobs but, …”housework is considered trivial, playing second fiddle to “paid” work.” The National, 2014

Vee doesn’t see her paintings as being political. She says they are really about the object itself. She finds beauty in the actual object, the mop, the broom or the vacuum cleaner, but she does admit giving status to the object. Her elevation of household items to be seen as greater in themselves, than being taken for granted, is a metaphor for the status of housework, as well as status of women, housewives, and mothers.  

Whatever you see in Vee’s work, whether it’s political or not, the images will have a lasting impact.

The Sydney Pride Festival 2020 “Love Stream” launched on Sydney Pride Facebook on the Thursday 4th June. Sydney Pride Festival will run from the 4th until the 30th June.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the LGBTQIA community. More than 220 pride celebrations around the world have been cancelled or postponed, as of April 3, 2020. Global Pride, an online event with numerous national hosts, has been scheduled for June 27, 2020.

The Sydney Pride Festival 2020 “Love Stream” will be an online platform for Pride Month. In a time we can not be together to remember the History and celebrate Sydney Pride we Integrate our community together online. Sydney Pride Festival is a grass roots festival and a time to pass on the history and raise awareness and education of our LGBTQI Charities. This year we will be putting the focus on how we have changed through the Pandemic and our online community has become more important than ever.

Sydney pride festival 2020 will remember our pursuit for acceptance and total Equality for all our LGBTQI brothers and sisters. Sydney Pride can reach out and help those struggling with Sexual identity, bullying, drugs or just feeling that life is too hard to stand strong and ask for help. Connecting together in Solidarity. This is Love Stream Pride!

Sydney Pride Festival is a not for profit event which supports a wide range of LGBTQI Charities, Organisations and businesses. This Sydney Pride festival 2020 will include online links to LGBTQIA entertainment, Talks, Documentaries, Children Story time, Health and fitness, Education, Movie and TV Recommendations and much more. We will have an online Calendar with what’s on each day and links where to find it. 

This is a time to remember the Stonewall Riots and the beginning of Gay liberation as we know it. The Sydney Pride festival is dedicated to those that lead the way back in 1969 who fought for equality and human rights and the incredible strength of our friends who marched in the first Sydney Mardi Gras in 1978.

Last year the Sydney pride Festival contained over 100 events. The festival featured Art, Cinema, Trivia, Debates, Sports, Fundraising activities and Club events across Sydney. This year will be very different but we feel it is very important to change during these very different times and stay connected.

The Sydney Pride Festival would like to thank the volunteers, event organisers, sponsors and LGBTQI community and all our friends for all their support.

We are currently seeking expressions of interest in adding your current event or producing a new online event for our wonderful community. If you would like to be part of the online festival. Please send email to info@sydneypride.com
