Spring

In 2014, Undercoat curated works that represent the Melbourne seasons illustrating the local creative life and Melbourne’s overall creative influence globally.
By exploring Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, Undercoat investigated how artistic endeavours change over the course of the year and how they are affected by the seasons. The contributors to this exhibition were from many walks of life, including photographers, writers, illustrators, scientists and filmmakers.

My main niche with the art that I create is portraiture, so I decided to create four faces that represent each season. I have often used my own face when I paint my faces, which I did with 2 of these paintings for this series.

These works can also be viewed at SARDI, 111 Church Street, Hawthorne, Melbourne.

Hayley June Walker is a Melbourne born painter and mural artist based in Australia but regularly travels internationally with her art. Heavily influenced by the urban scene growing up, it has become a very prominent part of her work to date. Fascinated also in the human form, portraiture and playful horizon-panorama, Hayley's psychological linear style and explosive colour use is induced by the fascination to paint from the subconscious mind but also capture imagery both aesthetically pleasing and emotive to the viewer. Working from Australia, Hayley's canvases and murals can be viewed in Australia, London, Holland, Germany, Brazil, Bulgaria and New York.
