The view from the Courthouse Hotel, Newtown

I took inspiration from sitting on the balcony of one of my favourite local pubs, where the sun was setting and I could see multi coloured roofs in the distance. This is the first painting I did on non-stretched canvas, and the largest I've done so far.

I am currently in the process of getting it stretched and framed, and will upload pictures of when it is done.

Bianca Wilson is an emerging visual artist based in Sydney, Australia. She draws inspiration from the repeating patterns of man-made constructs within city and suburban landscapes. While they are the focus of her paintings, they are used merely as a starting point, being ultimately transformed and radically simplified into a scene much less recognisable. Most notably, colour is used decoratively rather than descriptively, with buildings tinged with pink and coral hues. This choice is purely an aesthetic one, in order to create a scene more vibrant and much less naturalistic. The result is something abstracted yet maintains enough familiarity to hold some personal connection.
