Australian Artist Ella Krestensen Premieres New Work at Art Next Expo 2017 HK, Oct 6 -9th, 2017
We are delighted to invite you to the premiere of new work by contemporary Australian artist Ella Krestensen at Art Next Expo 2017 HK, Oct 6 -9th, 2017. Ella’s vibrantly sensual and colourful work shall be on view at Booth C10 (Ground Floor) PMQ, Central 35 Aberdeen Street, Central Hong Kong.
Ella’s exciting oeuvre blurs the lines between design, literature, and fine art through a meditative yet powerfully composed set of patterns, prints, and surface design. Come experience the Australian artist’s gorgeous drapery studies Byzantium (Arcadia). In this series, Ella combines photography and painting to create sumptuous colorful surface.
Savor the constantly changing beauty of the natural world in the new mixed media collages Luminosity (Lunar) a reimagining of the discoveries of Galileo. Using light, shadow and color the artist creates her own impression of the world of astronomy.
Collage becomes abstraction with Ella’s Vignette series that assembles vibrant imagery to evoke the impression of the painter’s brush, and the passage of time. Originally created as a way to begin producing new work for 100 days, the series has emerged as an expression of the importance of creativity and spontaneity.
Feel immersed in the mixed media Ocean series. Painted from the vantage point of deep below Sydney Australia’s iconic ocean pools, this is a reimagining of the colourful world above.
Other exciting new work includes Luminous, a new series of stainless steel and plastic concentric forms seen through an engraved veil of William Morris’ thistle designs. The sculptures are a playful and magnified vision of the remarkable spiral patterns seen in nature like the Fibonacci sequence.
See the natural world from an aerial view in Ella’s painting series Floating on Air. These innovative works evolved from aerial views of the majestic Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre basin. An ode to an iconic Australian landscape the dynamic series pairs painterly colour with a love of nature.
