Artist Statement
Alejandra’s recent works focus on three-dimensional patterns and how an audiences’ interactions manipulate the overall outcome of a painting. The objective of her current work is to involve the audience in a new visual experience and highlights the relationship between matter, space and the sensations of the viewer.
“My aim with this series is to create paintings in three dimensions, I wanted the works to be playful and to engage with an audience.
I am interested in the analogy between objects and human bodies. Rather than regarding the two as separate differing entities – one being soulless and functional and the other governed by intuition and insight – I wanted to imply greater depth, I aim to evoke new sensations as my viewers respond and become part of the visual experience of the works.” – Alejandra Sieder

'Seems Like a Good Idea at the Time' by DEAN REILLY "Much of our early colonial history is riddled with absurdity. Explorers doomed for failure through bad planning miscommunication and a disconnect and discomfort with the landscape. Like a fish out of water or a naked white man on a chartreuse camel, the new can sometimes appear bizarre." - Dean Reilly 'Seems Like a Good Idea at the Time' 40.5 x 51cm, 43.5 x 54cm framed acrylic on canvas $ 1,400.00

"The great gold rush has never really ended it has just become corporatized, legalised, monopolised, justified and naturalised. Fly into the heart of Australia and you will see men in uniform moving about in airports, to go and dig up the earth to provide security and pleasure for their families." - DEAN REILLY Gold 1, 2 and 3 on display and available now

"Black swan theory suggests that the black swan is a metaphor that describes an event that comes as a complete surprise. One can only wonder how early Northern hemisphere explorers would have perceived and reacted to seeing the first black swans." - DEAN REILLY 'Odette Study' 20 x 25cm, 23 x 28cm framed acrylic on canvas on board $ 350.00 Free packing and shipping Australia wide

DEAN REILLY'S 'Past Present Future' 51 x 40.5cm, 54 x 43.5cm framedacrylic on canvas $ 1,400.00 "The past, present, and future is governed and informed by our feelings towards the landscape you are in. Whether you see it as majestic natural wilderness, a wild mongrel scrub to be developed or sacred country, is up to you. However, mostly it is inherited through the stories we hear and the experiences we have that form our views of the landscape and ultimately the world." - Dean

DEAN REILLY'S Solo Exhibition 'The Landscape is Beyond Me' is on now until September 30th. "In Australia, space and place stage stories torn between absurdity and beauty, the knowable and unknowable, and the sublime. My experience towards landscape comes from my internal feelings and experiences of country through observation, study, and from the dreams I had as a little boy growing up on the land. Landscape can be viewed as a majestic natural garden, a wild mongrel scrub or sacred country, for me however, landscape represents a strange combination, torn between the heroic and the absurd. I think it is the absolute hopelessness of the situation that we can find joy, connection and hope in the landscape that is beyond me." - DEAN REILLY #birdpainting

"The myth becomes clear as the truth becomes clouded. The story becomes legend and begins to inform us in how we feel about our history and how we feel about ourselves as people. What we choose to believe becomes the way in which we view the world and form morality. Inspired by Nolan’s Ned Kelly series. The Bushranger is caught in a fused representation of a centaur. Here the figure is caught between the human and the animal, metaphoric for the wild and tame." - DEAN REILLY Solo Exhibition ON NOW with free packing and shipping on all works Australia wide 'Myth' 122 x 91cm, 125 x 94cm framedacrylic on canvas $3,500.00

"I have heard conflicting opinions on the art of water divining. Some people believe it is very precise and reveals the location of underground water. Whilst others believe there is water everywhere, it is only matter of depth." - DEAN REILLY Divine Calling 101 x 101cm, 104.5 x 104.5cm framed acrylic on canvas #australianpainter
