The Brandon Circle
Melbourne
We are pleased to be invited as a group to exhibit at this year’s Camberwell Art Show.
The Brandon Circle emerged through a group of artists regularly meeting, talking all things art and generally socialising at the Brandon Hotel, a charming and quaint little venue in Carlton North, Melbourne. A common thread with these artists, in addition to enjoying each other’s company socially, is a passion for preserving representational fine art in a contemporary, everchanging artistic environment. The group includes established landscape, marine, and portraiture painters in various mediums including oil and watercolour.
Paul Margocsy
Honoured with a Fellow membership to “The Wildlife Art Society of Australasia”, for services to Society and Wildlife Art. Paul Margocsy’s successful career includes, commissioned by Australia Post, ‘Water Bird’ stamp series, commissioned by the United Nations, to paint a series of ‘Endangered Species’, and chosen twice to exhibit at the prestigious Leigh Yawkey Woodson Museum, “Birds In Art” exhibition, in America.
Joe Blundell
With a degree in plant biology, Joe Blundell is drawn to depictions of nature in his art – sometimes pure landscape and sometimes looking at the interplay between nature and the man-made. A feature of Joe’s landscape work is intimate, depictions of nature’s entanglements and the fight for survival.
Herman Pekel
An artist of verve and enthusiasm, Herman’s passion for the “freedom of spontaneity” and the rigour of speedily capturing the fleeting glow and illuminating impact of subtle shifts of light across the landscape, are what sets him apart.
Environmental issues are of paramount concern to Herman, and this love and veneration of nature in all “her” contrasting glory is unmistakably reflected in each landscape panorama he paints – “the energising spirits of the earth are alive and well here”.
Danielle Robertson
Danielle’s meticulous style and visually compelling work in pastel has been showcased on the covers of high-profile Art magazines over successive years, including the “International Artist” and “Australian Artist” magazines, together with published feature articles exploring her unique approach to the pastel medium. Her specialist subjects include wildlife art, and portraiture.
Anna Blatman
Anna’s bold, vibrant and textured paintings capture the essence of Australian flora and fauna, often inspired by her garden and the natural beauty of Australia. Her style is uniquely her own, blending elements of impressionism with her personal interpretation of nature.
Linda Robertson
Linda’s works are observational drawings of the human body. “I work with models who are dancers, musicians or other kinds of performers. I use illumination and shadow in a way that reflects the theatrical and emotional nature of their work; this interests me more than drawing the human figure simply as anatomy. A live model exerts energy and effort in holding a motionless position in space; my work is a response to the energy and life contained within this stillness”.
Aiden Weichard
Vitality and vigour are at the centre of each of Weichard’s contemporary works. Native Australian flora and fauna are commonly depicted in his intentionally dramatic works and are symbolic of his spiritual connection toward the Australian landscape and its animal inhabitants focusing on industrious farm animals, livestock and working dogs with a dynamism that is powerful and compelling.
