About This Artwork
Recent work giving hand-drawn line (as against hard-edge) centre stage.
Artist Statement
My artwork is about the play between colour, line and form. Paintings are ‘constructed’ using pencil grid-lines, acrylic and oil paint applied with a brush and/or palette knife in a raw, sketchy manner on canvas, ply board, or recycled core-door. Layers of pure colour create a textural surface evocative of the bush landscape but it is the relationships between line, form and space which is my main focus.
About The Artist
Gayle Stockley moved to Wamboin, near Canberra in the early 90s where she currently lives and has a studio. She also spends time at Wapengo on the NSW South Coast. “I trained as a painter but have been drawn to the direct working processes of drawing and hands-on physicality of Sculpture.” Her painting style developed after a seven year period making relief sculpture using bush-fire blackened casuarina. She returned to painting in 2015 and continued to work with simple, geometric, abstract composition with the addition of colour. A trip to San Francisco and New York in 2019 (seeing the artwork of many artists including Ellsworth Kelly, Imi Knoebel and Brancusi) was a source of inspiration and gave clarity to her artistic direction.
Gayle was selected to exhibit her work at the Other Art Fair Sydney in October, 2023.
