Art Imitating Art: Music, Film & Theatre

While Bluethumb is known for its vast array of visual art - both physical and digital - the importance of other art forms can not be understated. Music, film and theatre are as central to Australian culture as footy and barbeques, so today, we're celebrating all things music, film and theatre in this curation of art that imitates art.

Abandoned house and the harpist, as I’ve been painting a series of the music instruments, sound of each instrument was the main inspiration for me to characterise the musicians and transfer them into an abstract painting. This time we have a Harpist, I decided to break the cliché of having my Harpist in a glamorous and luxurious palace with cherry blossom in the air. I thought why don’t I use the magic of the music to bring back some things that has been dead or useless to the life, why not to paint the musician in an old and abandoned house, could that contrast work to make better abstract forms and colours?! Yes, I think it worked and turned into a beautiful and dynamic combination of forms and colours.
