Masterworks 2009


	Faye Alexander Jenkins

	Faye has followed her vocation as a painter and designer for over ten years and has been exploring rocks and geological features as motifs, as well as other parts of the Australian landscape for inspiration. The artist takes the brilliant tints and shades of rock strata, transforming them creatively, and makes the meandering river systems forming billabongs into other anguine patterns. Faye explores her own visual philosophy in an individual way, often using rocks and boulders as metaphors. She continues to paint her unfinished series, ‘Against the Odds’, using colour and texture to emphasize the small boulders holding up massive monoliths. Faye’s images have been accepted into many art prizes exhibitions, including the Fleurieu $50,000 Landscape Prize, Broken Hill Outback Prize and the SA Museum Waterhouse Prize. Her unique paintings and drawings are in private collections throughout Australia, UK, USA, Italy, Jordan and Japan.

		“Winning the Bendigo Banks People's Choice Award in 2007 at the Eltham College Masterworks Exhibition has given me a great opportunity to explore and extend my 'Rock' series and take my visual philosophy down both serious and whimsical paths. Using both texture and colour I try to give life to inanimate subjects, a life everyone can personalise and interpret using their own experiences. These paintings, rich in metaphor, provoke anthropomorphic ideas as the geological formations suggest attitudes and gestures which can be seen in everyday life and experience. I hope you enjoy viewing them as much as I have painting them.”
