It's What's Underneath That Counts

It's What's Underneath That Counts by Sioux Tempestt - This massive mural-stye abstract was created during a residency at the stunning Lost Eden Creative in Dwellingup WA. I'm modelling in one photo so you can get a sense of the grand scale! Inspired by nature, I created a balanced composition using different sections of colour. There's much to discover with blended paints, mark making and pattern work. I love the playful nature of the shapes and yellow line work weaving across the top. The pop of yellow sun draws your eye in and the intentional drips create a delicious contrast. Painted with Dulux Weathershield UV paints on marine grade plywood means this mini-mural is suitable for hanging outside in an undercover courtyard. Of course, it would look just as stunning inside if you have a large space to accommodate.

*PLEASE NOTE: due to the size, the artwork comes in two pieces 1.2m wide x 2.4m high each. When hung, the centre line is barely visible (refer to the detail photo). You can hang it quite simply with two strips of wood with a routered line in the centre (as pictured in the gallery image). Or have it framed.

Transcending creative disciplines Sioux Tempestt creates abstract, mural, sculptural and digital art. Traversing across different mediums and scale of works enables Sioux to push creative boundaries. Through materiality and physicality, her expressive abstractions intuitively fuse colour and form. Her work aims to create a narrative and connection as Sioux believes art plays an intrinsic contribution to our wellbeing, health, and happiness.

Sioux’s studio-based practice explores paint and mixed media works on canvas and board; digital and photographic compositions; poetry and writing; video; sound and music. Working across other mediums such as metal, acrylic, wood and recycled materials Sioux creates 3D permanent and ephemeral sculptural public artworks. Large scale murals also form part of Sioux’s practice with over 50 painted throughout Perth.

Sioux has delivered 11 solo exhibitions and exhibited in numerous group shows. Recent achievements include Finalist, Mid West Art Prize 2023; Finalist, Town of Claremont Art Prize 2023; and Finalist, City of Stirling Art Award 2023.
