Artist of the Week, Natasha La Brooy

It can be extremely challenging to let go of the external form, and really put ourselves into the picture plane.  Natasha says "When I feel myself working too tightly, I literally draw a bold line through my work, to force myself to let go and get over that preciousness."   It is this kind of liberation, accepting the human aspect of her marks, not trying to tidy it all up, that gives such integrity to her work. This is Natasha's a dance if you like, HER story. 

Artist of the Week, Alex Speechley

Yes, they are drawn on postcards and almost obsolete aerograms.  They are dissected, distorted and beautifully woven together, offering a simultaneous sense of enquiry and mystery.  Why limit yourself to drawing only on what's sold in Art Shops? 

Artist of the Week, Trudy Rice

This is what happens when you begin to sacrifice, when you stop dictating and let things happen.   Trudy didn't plan to create this lucid transparency, she simply took an open approach, and witnessed it unravel. Her compositions still retaining a great sense of balance.
