June July 2019

My exhibition in New York was the culmination of 3 years planning and was a big success. Arriving home I have been re-thinking my way forward, and have begun with some new mixed media works from photographs taken as we crossed the globe

A freezing morning in the African bush gave up this photograph which I have made a digital painting of .

Zebra portrait

It is intended for the ninewhiterooms 2020 exhibition , included in the portrait gallery. A number of other pieces from our trip around the globe will be added as they come to hand .

Will add regular pieces during the remaining part of the year.

Working on a submission to Australia council for the Arts to fund three exhibitons in 2020 in Europe.

Art – Life – Living

The NHR gallery

Ninewhiterooms was conceived in 2011 as a virtual on-line art gallery.

The concept was given a architectural design form based on its namesake Nine white rooms. The form evolved as nine stepped gallery spaces  with the roof of each providing further outdoor space for displaying sculpture . The dream of this facility was it would be located adjacent a stepped waterfall , with  access provided by a landscaped pathway , across the water course by glass bridges, designed to form a separation between the forest setting and the artwork .

This imaginary development provided that context for the work that was to fill its rooms and roof gardens , and requires those who resonate with the work to imagine the wonder of this extraordinary piece of virtual architecture.

To create these paintings and infuse life to the architecture a scale model was constructed and the resultant photography emerged.

The design steps down the landscape and sideways to follow the adjoining water feature .Guests would arrive at the top and be directed to a free standing pavilion at the top of the landscaped pathway giving access to the three glass walkway bridges linking the pathway to the gallery rooms.

Showcasing the work of Terrence Martin , a mixed media artist working in digital space thru exhibitions posted annually since 2013. The works displayed in each room , can be printed on request as limited addition stretched canvases, or the high quality paper  ready for framing .

The subject themes for each room reflect the diverse interests of the artist resulting in a magical body of work

 

 

 

Just thinking

Spacial awareness

a) In the supermarket the other day, something caught my attention 5 teenage girls all focused in their respective phones come to a halt in the main doorway, blocking access and egress , spacial awareness no longer part of their consciousness like a lost art , oblivious to the fact they were blocking access/egress to the market. They eventually  moved driven by an unknown connection.

b)  The footpath totally blocked by a group of young people engaged in conversation, when I purposely bumped one of them , his spacial awareness came to life and he apologised for blocking access , but didn’t move and continued his conversation .

Learning

A false sense of knowing ,a false sense of self-confidance bought about by the devaluation of learning. A young teenage boy thinks he has it all covered but is ignorant of his ignorance .

If you can goggle everything why bother to learn anything. Access is all you need. Search engines restrict your access by demanding we are crystal clear about what we want to find out about otherwise we are taken to numerous sites

Question ” Are there waterfalls in Greece “?  search engine takes me to Greek to photos of waterfalls in Greece as well as elsewhere, also greek tourism ,beaches,ancient greek  mythology.

Markets provide a direct connection with customers. Each sunday, not knowing who you will connect with or if you will connect at all. Satisfaction ,when people resonate with the work, its like a unspoken language.
