Percy’s energetic and passionate nature reflects in her continued fascination in the balance and sensitivity of fluid line while making her mark. \nThe layering of contemplative\, gentle and meditative actioned marks reflects this passion and was the catalyst for quietude in place and space. This body of work is a series of landscape\, figurative and floral paintings on linen\, cotton canvas\, Japanese paper and yupo using acrylic paint\, ink and black carbon – created in the studio and from the live model. \nThe use of intuitive calligraphic fluid line in my work reflects an honest connection through the artist and onto the surfaces of natural fibre. Percy’s fascination with Japanese calligraphy art is evident in her work\, whilst recognising traditional painting techniques the works maintain a progressively contemporary style.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Artist’s Bio” tab_id=”1518320329651-b769a1a3-29e6905c-b0b3368e-b9ef2edb-f0663f53-0933c7a3-9ab2″][vc_column_text]Alison Percy is an Australian artist living near the Murray River in Albury on the border of NSW and Victoria. Working in the creative industries has been Percy’s life. She completed an Associate Diploma in Visual Arts while training as a graphic designer in a fast paced advertising art department. \nPercy has developed a diverse range of skills over her career. Her eye for detail and passion for all things art\, design and colour has seen her tutor Illustration\, Design and Visual Arts at Wodonga Institute of TAFE to Painting and Life Drawing at Murray Art Museum Albury. \nPercy’s energetic and passionate nature reflects across landscape\, figurative and floral works which varies from a loose and instinctive mark to one that is highly considered. Intuitive use of fluid line initiates an honest connection through the artist and onto the surface using ink\, charcoal\, acrylic and gouache onto linen and paper. \nAfter 36 years working as a designer\, interior design consultant and calligrapher\, she took a leap of faith in October 2018 to focus solely on her visual arts practice – which has opened the door to residencies\, awards plus ongoing exhibitions\, private sales and commissions. Her first solo was in May 2015 and the upcoming solo exhibition at fortyfivedownstairs in January 2021 will be her 11th along has been apart of 36 group exhibitions…excited by the continued growth\, Percy remains focused on ‘enjoying the journey’![/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”GALLERY TALK” tab_id=”1582678435229-e5876ba4-7ad4″][vc_column_text]Taking the plunge: from designer to artist\nTalk by Alison Percy\nSaturday 30 January\, 1.30pm \nAs part of her solo exhibition QUIETUDE of the land\, the figure and the flower\, Alison Percy will give an artist talk about her career as a graphic designer\, and her recent transition to full time artist.

How has our physical and cultural encounter with the public garden changed? Has the picturesque garden subject (as landscape vista\, folly\, or symbol of civic confidence) been relegated to expressions of cultural nostalgia as environmental problems take their toll? \nParks and gardens were quickly established in Australian colonies to celebrate settlement\, the rise of botanical scientific collections and the global exchange of exotic plant species and ready cultivars. Colonial documentors of flora and fauna assumed that their subjects would endure in perpetuity; naturalists\, artists and voyagers were also enamoured of glimpses of what they perceived to be ‘gentlemen’s parks’\, mistakenly believing tracts of land were devoid of Indigenous inhabitants. \nDrawing on field trips to urban and regional botanic gardens and national parks\, these paintings offer correctives to these views\, re-thinking early botanical empire building\, or colonisation by seed. They also evoke the ecological impacts of colonisation upon the literal and cultural landscapes of the present. \nThe paintings on canvas are generally large scale and mimic archival paper documents. They are replete with stains\, watermarks and foxing mould copied from deteriorated botanical documentations. As painterly parodies of early colonial botanical documentations\, they perhaps suggest the melancholy possibility of last contact. \nThe exhibition’s explorations\, taken together\, invite questions as to the landscape subjects of the future. What models of ‘park life’ will be possible going forward?[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Artist’s Bio” tab_id=”1518320329651-b769a1a3-29e6905c-b0b3368e-b9ef2edb-f0663f53-09336fc7-2d38″][vc_column_text]Amanda Johnson is a painter and writer who has lived in Melbourne and on the Bellarine. Her artwork has been shown in Australia and overseas. Her work has been represented in the 2019 Hadley’s Art Prize\, the 2018 Bruny Prize and the 2016 Bruny Prize. Paintings have also been shown in the Geelong Contemporary Art Prize (2012) and the Fletcher Jones Prize (2006). She has a Masters in painting from Victorian College of the Arts (1994-5). Since graduating\, she has been the recipient of Asialink and Arthur Boyd Bundanon residencies for painting. A previous solo show\, Friable:The Lost Garden\, was held at Geelong Gallery in late 2015 as part of the gallery’s regional artists program. In 2011\, she worked with artist Michele Burder to create the exhibition Understorey: Botanic Gardens\, Past\, Present\, Future – from Civic Vision to Climate Change (Geelong Gallery). The exhibition toured to regional Victoria in 2011. \nAmanda Johnson’s practice is interdisciplinary; she publishes poetry and prose as A. Frances Johnson. Her writing often overlaps postcolonial ecocritical themes found in her art. Her 2007 novel Eugene’s Falls (Arcadia) retraced the so-called ‘wilderness’ journeys of colonial painter Eugene von Guerard across Taungurong country in The Great Divide. Amanda currently works as a Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing in the School of Culture and Communication at the University of Melbourne.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Artist Talk Saturday 3 August” tab_id=”1562122494874-95262d30-3c79″][vc_column_text]\n\nJoin us for two artist talks from exhibiting artists Josh Dykgraaf and Amanda Johnson.\n\n\n \n\n\nSaturday 3 August\, 1pm\n\n\nfortyfivedownstairs\, 45 Flinders Lane\, Melbourne\n\n\nRefreshments provided\n\n\nFREE EVENT\, ALL WELCOME\n\n\n \n\n\nFirst up\, Josh Dykgraaf will speak about his exhibition TERRAFORM\, his artistic process\, and the literal and artistic exploration that led to the exhibition.\n\n\n \n\n\nAfter a short break\, Amanda Johnson will be in conversation with art historian Associate Professor Alison Inglis (the University of Melbourne) about her exhibition After the Archive: Park Life.\n\n\nJoin the Facebook event here.\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row]
