Artwork Description

Acrylic on wood, ready to hang.

Signed on the front.

This Abstract artwork won 1st prize for Abstract Art and 3rd prize for Painting at Redcliffe Anglican Art Awards, held at the old firehouse in 2010. It was completed as an assignment for my high school art class. We were learning about the process of abstraction. We started with kitchen utensils and learnt how to break them down into their basic shapes until we had formulated an abstract design we liked. My favourite thing about this artwork is the uneven composition. Photo quality is low as this artwork is in storage.

All art by Phoebe Purtill

A puma petrol station sits isolated on a Whitsundays beach, with tall palm trees in the background, a bright blue sky and fluffy white clouds hanging overhead, low verdant bushes around it, a white strip of beach extending either side of it, and pure aqua ocean in the foreground. Six cars are parked in the carpark, with four cars fuelling up from the petrol pumps. The red and teal design of the petrol station is punctuated by its bold font logo and silhouetted image of a running puma cat. The light is brilliantly matched for a sunny summer day. The cars are rendered in obsessively photorealistic detail. There are no people, animals or fish visible. The highly saturated colours and strong composition gives a sense of extreme optimism and positivity. The juxtaposition of the elements and the way they are seamlessly combined gives a feeling of surrealism. A BP Petrol station with a red convertible car parked outside, on a Fiji beach with white sand, palm trees, a blue deckchair, pristine water, clouds, and a yellow canoe. The sense of scale is disproportionate. It uses surrealist juxtaposition. The colours are highly saturated. The shadows in the treeline are dark. The palm trees are expressionistic and vivacious. The canoe is eerily unattended. There are no signs of human or animal life in this painting. Acrylic painting of a beach scene, featuring a petrol station in the far distance, uncharacteristically close to the water and not accessible by any visible road. The water is pristine and clear. The sky is a very bright blue. There are small fluffy clouds near the horizon.
