Melbourne Through the Mist (Triptych)

MELBOURNE THROUGH THE MIST (Triptych) is a set of three original oil paintings on stretched linen.

The panoramic scene depicts a birdseye view of the city at a dramatic moment as storm clouds and fog shrouded the landscape below.

The inspiration for the Melbourne triptych came during a visit to Eureka Tower’s Sky Deck at a time when dense clouds suddenly swept over the city and fog engulfed the buildings below. Within moments the landscape was completely transformed, developing a sense of mystery, with only some of the major landmarks visible through the mist.

It is that rapid yet transient transformation of a familiar cityscape that has been captured here.

The triptych of paintings is an interpretation of a dramatic day in the life of 'Greater Melbourne' as experienced from an aerial vantage point.

SIZE: The artwork is made up of three adjoining but self-contained panels that have been designed to hang together as one continuous panorama measuring 270cm (W) x 150cm (H).
Alternatively they may also be displayed separately as individual pieces if required. They work both ways.

NB. Each of the three panels is 90cm wide x 150cm high, adding up to 270cm (W) x 150cm (H) when joined together.

An outer frame is not required as the painted area continues around the sides of each panel

MEDIUM: Oil paint on linen stretched on artist quality cedar stretcher-frames

The paintings are wired, ready to hang.

*Any one of the three panels may be purchased individually @ $4500 (ea)

Having studied Fine Art & Design at Monash University (Caulfield Campus) in the 1970’s, Eva went on to complete a Diploma of Education at Melbourne University.
In 1998, after a decade spent in archival picture framing and retail management, Eva went on to establish Articall Art & Framing Consultancy in 1998 which she had operated in Bayside Melbourne for over 20 years. At Articall Eva provided custom framing and decorating services, art classes, and held exhibitions of local artists’ work.

Since 2014 Eva’s primary focus has ben on developing her art practice full time and her art has been featured in exhibitions at Studio Gallery Melbourne, Brunswick Street Gallery, Without Pier Gallery, Linden, ALA Gallery Melbourne, Bayside Gallery, Articall popup Gallery, and Kim’s Space Art Gallery.

Eva’s broad body of work encompasses large interiors, urban landscapes, and a variety of abstract paintings in oils and mixed media on linen.
Whether working on representational subjects, or more free-form non-figurative imagery, an abstract sensibility and experimentation with painterly techniques is usually at the core of every painting.

Over the years Eva’s approach has evolved from painting colourful hard-edged abstracts in acrylics, to a more painterly form of expression using oil paints and mixed media, often depicting urban landscapes and the natural environment. These atmospheric paintings are personal interpretations of moody, colourful sky views and the play of shadows and light over the sea or landscape.

“In my art I like to explore everyday subjects through a personal lens and capture moments in time that have resonated with me in a significant way.
I tend to work on large-scale canvases in oils, acrylic paints and pastels, as they allow me to combine broad ‘arm action’ modes of painting with more delicate, detailed marks applied with a finer touch. With all my work, whether it is representational or abstract, the aim is to interpret on canvas themes of interest in a variety of ways, while achieving aesthetic harmony and balance.”
