Gus Leunig

Gus Leunig’s colourful and poetic paintings encapsulate his love of the natural environment in the countryside where he lives in northeast Victoria.

Leunig’s imagery is created through a mixture of observation and imaginative expression. His art features quirky figures which inhabit a complex and whimsical world. The elements in his work are drawn together through a tight compositional framework while creating playful pathways with unexpected encounters. Gus Leunig lives in and works in Avenel, Victoria.

Ann Cremean

Ann is a visual artist creating contemporary landscape paintings from her Melbourne studio. Inspiration comes from the landscapes around Euroa. The granite outcrops, textures of the bush, farmland and waterways are the subjects of her work.

These works are a response to light and movement found in nature. After many hours in the bush around Euroa observing shapes and light, these works are made quickly in the studio based on memory. The images have been given space on the canvas to allow them to float and to appear as fleeting glances of landscapes.

Rosa Purbrick

Rosa Purbrick creates diverse organic images with paint on canvas, works on paper and in mixed media. Rosa lives and works at Tahbilk Winery on the banks of the Goulburn River in Central Victoria. For many years now she has turned her eye to the landscape garnering inspiration not only from Tahbilk but also from her travels into outback Australia.

“I have always been fascinated by nature. Its ability to create ever changing patterns – light dancing across water, clouds transcending skies, their shadow play over the landscape. Strata layering, ridges, triangular formations, the topography. This has been a constant inspiration over the many years of observing the world around me. It is what I hope you see imbued in my work”

Angus Cameron

Based Avenel in the Strathbogie Ranges in northeast Victoria, Angus makes prints and impressions on paper that reflect the environment where he lives. His works embody aesthetics found in nature echoing forms and patterns that make up the micro and macro world of plants and place. The work sits in a space between abstraction and representation. It is a filtered gaze reflecting the patterns and shapes of the land and the life it supports.
