With this series of oversized paintings – I imagine them to be as one whole artwork that is broken into a series of smaller (though still very large) paintings. \nWhen I plan and execute the work I document and lay them together – so the ideas and direction make sense to me. They then begin to tell a story. The works to me are a part of a larger milieu\, that I want the viewer to become ensconced within. \nI have always had a strong connection to literature. The titles for the works will often come from books or papers that I am currently reading. Time then spent researching and gathering ideas which help me form a feeling that I’ll maintain throughout the creation of the whole body of work. Once I have reached a certain point in my own research process – I have an enduring thought or feeling that stays with me while I paint several works. I paint until the urgency of this thought or feeling subsides\, then\, I’ll return to my reading and research process – and with this the cycle continues. \nWhen the works are finished\, I stand the works together and edit them back to a core of paintings that do not deviate from the central feeling I have maintained throughout the painting process. \nThe work is very much a diary of movement through thought and feeling\, and then revisiting of the idea of my purpose. In the past few years\, I have concentrated on paring back\, ensuring that the work is about the work itself\, the simplicity of practicing acts of love and the physicality of being in the studio every day. \nVisually I have intended for this body of work is joyful\, graphic\, strong\, confident. Dots\, stripes and virulent swirls. I want each painting to look like the palette of the work I had painted right before; for an assured viewer\, ready to embrace correlation and chance with shapes and colours\, someone ready to revel in a sense of abundance\, emotion and love.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Artist’s Bio” tab_id=”1518320329651-b769a1a3-29e6905c-b0b3368e-b9ef2edb-f0663f53-0933″][vc_column_text]Shayle Flesser \nEducation\n2004 Post-Graduate Diploma of Visual Art – Griffith University\, Queensland\n1996 Diploma of Psychology and Sociology – City College\, San Francisco\n1992 Bachelor of Visual Art (Painting & Ceramics) University of Southern Queensland\, Toowoomba \nIndividual Exhibitions\n2022- Launch – Emma Street Studio Gallery\n2021 – Emma Street Studio Gallery\n2017- Artworks Upstairs Gallery\n2013 – Platform – Jan Manton Gallery\n2012 –Doggett Street Studio\, Brisbane\n2012 – New Skin Tween driver Regional Gallery\n2008 Immaculate Heart – blkmrkt project space\, Queensland\n2008 – blkmrkt projects\, Southport \nGroup Exhibitions:\n2016 – Jan Manton Gallery\n2014 – Conny Dietzschold Gallery\n2014 – Jan Manton Gallery\n2013 – Group Show – Jan Manton Gallery\n2012 – Los Angeles Affordable Art Fair\n2012 – Toronto Affordable art Fair\n2011 – Prometheus Visual Art Award – All Saints Anglican School\, Merrimac\n2014 – Conny Dietzschold Gallery\n2014 – Jan Manton Gallery\n2013 – Group Show – Jan Manton Gallery\n2010 – Jacaranda Acquisitive Drawing Award – Grafton Regional Gallery\, Grafton\n2010 – Drawings From Where We Are – Horus & Deloris Art Space\, Sydney\n2009 The Fourth Estate – Lorraine Pilgrim Gallery\, Queensland\n2009 Innocence – Lorraine Pilgrim Gallery\, Queensland\n2009 Eat your Heart Out – blkmrkt project space\, Queensland\n2008 Memento Mori – blkmrkt project space\, Queensland (Curated by Wayde Owen)\n2007 Taking Sides – blkmrkt project space\, Queensland\n2007 Put your Love on the Line – blkmrkt project space\, Queensland\n2004 Works for the Blues – Waterfront Place\, Brisbane\n2003 Mapping the Journey – Artworks Contemporary Artspace\, Queensland\n2002 Miniatures – Artworks Contemporary Artspace\, Queensland\n2002 Works for the Blues – Waterfront Place\, Brisbane\n2002 The Trinity Lutheran Art Award\, Trinity Lutheran College\, Queensland (Winner)\n2002 Marymount Art Award – Marymount College\, Queensland\n2002 New Paintings – Artworks Contemporary Artspace\, Queensland\n1993 Multiple Visions (Graduate show) – University of Southern Queensland\, Toowoomba\nAwards and Grants and Residencies:\n2011 – Prometheus Visual Art Award – All Saints Anglican School\, Merrimac\n2010 – Jacaranda Aquisitive Drawing Award – Grafton Regional Gallery\, Grafton\n2009 – Hill End Artists in Residence Program\n2008 – Arts Queensland\, Regional Arts Development Fund (New Work Grant)\n2008 – Arts Queensland\, Regional Arts Development Fund (blkmrkt projects)\n2007 – Prometheus Visual Art Award – All Saints Anglican School\, Merrimac\n2006 – Cite Internationale Des Arts – Paris\, France (AGNSW Studio)\n2008 Arts Queensland\, Regional Arts Development Fund (blkmrkt project space)\n2002 The Westpac Painting Award\, Trinity Lutheran College (Winner) \nCollections\nGold Coast City Art Gallery\, Queensland\nTrinity Lutheran College\, Queensland\nPrivate Collections Australia and New Zealand\, Singapore\, Hong Kong \nBibliography\nGold Coast Bullterin – May 2021\nGina Ciancio – Style Curator 2021\nSam Leach – Catalogue Essay 2012\nClarke\, S. 2008.
