Shane Drinkwater V

Shane Drinkwater's latest collages remind me of cycles of the moon and how prominent they are in the winter when light here is so scarce.

Shane Drinkwater IV

One of Shane Drinkwater's rarer series of works are these paintings in the bottom of boxes, which I love for their recycled, cobbled quality and the preciousness of something that is normally rubbish.

”Painting is something I’ve always needed to do and I’m enjoying it more and more. I’m interested in the historical, scientific and artistic observation of the “heavens and earth"." Shane Drinkwater

Shane Drinkwater III

Australian artist Shane Drinkwater is incredibly prolific as he works through ideas like a prisoner to thought and repetitive technique. These are more works on the themes of house creating a variety of buildings with seemingly different personalities mood and purpose.

Shane Drinkwater II

Shane Drinkwater often uses the theme of houses to contain and shape his repetitive patterns, This beautiful collaged indigo house surrounded by a cosmic sky is truly stunning.

Shane Drinkwater I

A collection of Australian artist Shane Drinkwater's red works. Shane's works remind me of maps, diagrams  and systematic recordings, plotting time, lunar passages or seasons. In many ways they speak the language of Australia and it's aboriginal artists in the narrative of pattern that they use.

"Ideas and images appear through the making of the work and I don’t feel the need to analyse them: language becomes unnecessary, I let the work speak for me." Shane Drinkwater
