JCG recognises that now more than ever we need to support our local creatives & through #<\/span>support4WAartists<\/span><\/span><\/a> we will highlight a different WA practitioner each week. \u2800<\/h2>\n

This week we feature Kevin Robertson an outstanding artist who featured in the JCG\u2019s Higher Degrees 17 exhibition with his series of awe-inspiring paintings of the Australian desert landscape.<\/h2>\n<\/div>

JCG: Tell us about 2020 prior to COVID19:\u2800<\/strong>
\nKR:<\/strong> I had been working on paintings that show light in a different way, with phase rather than just tone and colour. I am interested in how we reconstitute the information in the world into a 3D reality and was trying to look behind this reconstruction process at, for instance, how diffraction patterns might inform this. I was painting things in this fragmented way.\u2800
\n\u2800
\nJCG:\u00a0How has the pandemic impacted your work?\u2800<\/strong>
\nKR:<\/strong>\u00a0 COVID-19 has made my working process more intense, a sort of all or nothing ethos has emerged. I was working on the Munt Street Satellite Dish painting when it struck and I think it has, oddly, made me think clearly about what I am doing and paint in a more lucid way.\u2800
\n\u2800
\nJCG:\u00a0Are you working on anything now?\u2800<\/strong>
\nKR:<\/strong>\u00a0 Instead of going out to locations, I have mainly been working in the studio, using views out the window or painting from drawings and finishing off work from my memory.\u2800
\n\u2800
\nJCG\u00a0<\/strong>How can we support you? \u2800
\nKR:<\/strong>\u00a0 I am represented by the Art Collective WA @artcollectivewa\u2800<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>
