Artist of the Month - July 2024

Sue Vandeleur

Painting

'Art has been a constant in my life, in one form or another - from being paper and pencil demanding as a child, to life drawing classes at the National Gallery of Victoria in my teens, and helping to bring a regional gallery to life in New South Wales. Drawing, painting and printmaking have also been a part of my art at every opportunity.

Graduating from TAFE with an Art Certificate (Hons) consolidated my inherent interest in art practice, prior to moving to South Australia. My role as a guide at the Art Gallery of South Australia added immeasurable appreciation of all art forms.

In the series on show during my artist of the month showcase, I have focused on developing the idea of projected light, in which man-made light illuminates the dark. Projected colour, abstracted and reflected on imaginary surfaces, is my central theme in these works.

Imagining! A way of seeing, of highlighting, of interpreting a notion visually via drawing and painting will always be a part of my life.’
