Audrey Kitching Australia

“Colour seems to radiate happiness and the spirit of modern life and movement …”

   in 1930: Leonard Griffin Calarice Cliff: The Art of the Bizarre.

 As it did in 1930, at the beginning of the Art Deco period, colour still inspires us, so many years on. In Australia, the many colours of our ancient landscape are illuminated by our brilliant sunlight, which accentuates the harshness of the environment, and the power of nature’s life force. I have chosen to paint Wittenoom Gorge, in Western Australia, which I have visited some years ago, and where this tree and the sun-bleached spinifex, against the odds, grows out of the colourful, but forbidding, asbestos bearing rock.
