Inside the SUN

“Inside the SUN” is the latest work in this series and celebrates the dominant feature of our Australian landscape. The sun is rarely the subject of creative artistic endeavor. I chose a 200cm x 200cm canvas to respect the size of the image being portrayed. Again, using recycled and repurposed acetate sheets and three heavy bodied acrylics, I hand cut and adhered 1,600 50mm x 50mm squares - a bitmap of individual solar pixels that coalesce as you retreat from the canvas. Each square is uniquely painted and “pictures within a picture” can be seen throughout the work.

I have been a member of the Eramboo Artist Environment in the northern suburbs of Sydney since 2019.
Primarily using acrylic and mixed media, Ross works mainly with Geometric and Landscape Abstractions as well as creating Social Messaging artworks. I look to re-express both mundane and complex concepts and create images that will have viewers linger, explore and debate.
I am curious and take artistic risk, often experimenting with non-traditional materials and methods. I use both acrylic and enamel with the latter sometimes in spray form. I intertwine pen, ink and pencil where this adds detail, clarity or another layer for viewer speculation. I work on canvas, board and different types of paper and usually work on 3 or 4 pieces at the same time.
