Telling Tales
These family and personal portraits reflect the zeitgeist of the time, reflecting the historical similarities and speak of past and present, real and imagined and resonate across continents. In my paintings I  search for the alchemy that emerges from the contradiction  where things are not as they seem. Everyday observations are merged with magical elements as the boundaries between reality and fiction and past and present blur. Disrupting and decontextualizing  art history I am inspired to tell my own story, speaking of a shared humanity and kinship between all sentient beings in the natural world.

THROUGH OUR EYES
Three artists journey across Bass Strait to the stunning landscape of central Tasmania, exploring their unique response to the history, story, mood and atmosphere of this diverse landscape.

Lois Robertson
reflects a personal response to the formal aspects of landscape painting, searching for light and atmosphere along with environmental concerns about how the diversity of the landscape is constantly impacted by culture.

Tanya Chaitow is a narrative artist who works with implicit narratives of the Old Masters. Everyday observations are merged with magical elements as the boundaries between reality and fiction past and present blur.

Her work is a response to a sense of urgency around the protection of the rapidly dwindling native forest wilderness.

Isabelle Devos explores the connection to place by immersing herself in the solitude of the landscape in order to experience the particular sensory and spatial experiences of the area.

2019 Tanya Chaitow - In dreams I wake

Opening Date: Saturday, 7 December, 3 - 5 pm
Exhibition Dates: 3 December - 21 December, 2019

Venue: Stella Downer Fine Art
1/24 Wellington Street, Waterloo, NSW 2017


In dreams I wake slips into TANYA CHAITOW’s world of romantic landscapes and chimeric beings. Ambiguity and whimsy are important elements in CHAITOW’s works. Her fanciful paintings blur past and present, fact and fictions, internal and external reality. Adopting a naïve style, she is able to work intuitively to capture fleeting mental states and her poetic works are charged with a powerful psychological resonance. These romantic, almost ‘fairy tale’ depictions have the surreal quality of dreams; where they don’t quite make sense. However, it is through embracing dreams and these dreamlike qualities in her art that the artist feels most attuned to her sense of self.
