About the Artwork
This artwork is an abstract artwork in nature on a vertical slab of a piece of redgum timber which adds an organic texture to the composition.
The artwork has a deep, rich appearance densely layered with a myriad of colours which is symbolic with everything I know in life, my relationship with God and the landscape of my Country.
The application of the paint to the surface is erratic and energetic, scattered across the canvas giving it a sense of spontaneity which is a deliberate application symbolic of freedom in a chaotic world. The overall affect is both vibrant and textured as the colours interact creating this complex artwork.
The title and inspiration of this artwork is called Jubilee, which means to celebrate a special anniversary or notable public event. It also represents a time where slaves would be set free and all debts cancelled and the return of their land.
