Lae OldmeadowThe Sacred SeedsAugust 20, 2011 Lae Oldmeadow has been described as an environmental artist and the title sits well with him as he has spent the last two decades living sustainably and creating art in harmony with the natural world. Lae’s assemblages, ‘canopies’ and ‘soft sculptures’, made reverently from totally organic materials, have a humanising effect. Unlike the optical noise of the constructed, urban environment - where images are quickly glimpsed and passed over - Lae’s works resonate a slow, rhythmic pulse and we respond instinctually. In them we can sense the energy of Nature with its cycles of growth and decay - its ceaseless renewal and infinite complexity of form. ... more |

Eschewing the socio-technological complexities that permeate day-to-day existence, Rawkins makes manifest a metaphysical dimension. The immensely potent images reflect her deep ecological concerns and an ongoing fascination with the mythic in world cultures. A distillation of research and experience gained from her many travels to distant lands, Rawkins paintings resonate a personal and universal truth.

But beyond the anatomical perfection and sensitive play of light, the works engage the viewer at a deeper, more contemplative level. There is a sense of complete quietude to the self-sufficient repose of each figure. Free of restless energy, Piperides' bronzes seem to represent a state of being which defies all worldly concern. ... more |
