Greenway Art Prize 2022

My work, titled, Greenway Upclose: 90 x 95 cm, acrylic on board, framed is currently on view at the Greenway Art Prize, Sydney Bus Museum, Leichhardt.

This work was made in the studio after a texta drawing of a secluded area near Marion Street Light Rail station on the Greenway. It’s a place I’ve taken friends – it reminds me of the bush- there are little walking tracks amongst a myriad of textures and colours through the bush. It is also one of the sites of bush regeneration done by volunteers of Greenway Bushcare.

My painting is an explosion of colour- it is a close up view, painted from memory with a feeling of enclosure within a green space.

2022 – Works on art board- gouache

These works were painted as small studies – actually at the time they were not studies at all – I didn’t paint them to think about making other works from – they are works within themselves. They are reactions to light and space and atmosphere. The works represent impulsive and intuitive inspirations to paint.

Lorna Grear Dusty Pink Tree Limbs

‘Dusty Pink Tree Limbs’ reflects my series of work titled Paralands. Paralands is an imaginary word, stemming from the amalgamation of paradise and landscape. This painting in particular was originally inspired from a secret garden found in a housing estate. My paintings aim to reclaim the hand-­‐made, turning the digital into a personal gesture.
