now showing > pete goodlet

At Muskvale, on the edge of Daylesford, Pete Goodlet paints in his violet coloured studio, an original miner’s cottage. Pete’s whimsical paintings invite you to share his observations and perspectives of the world and the characters inhabiting it.

Pete’s paintings are full of joy and the celebration of life and just looking at them can make you smile. Pete has lived and travelled to many places along the East coast of Australia. Many of his paintings reflect time enjoyed in places as diverse as Apollo Bay, St.Kilda, Sydney, Daylesford, Noosa Heads and Murwillumbah, and one day has plans to have a large garden in the sub-tropics.

Pete lives in Daylesford with his partner David. Pete also draws inspiration from his large family and two great kids, Jack & Lily and Thelma Louise his very funny dog!

Pete has five artworks on display and for sale at one hundredth gallery until 26 June 2011.

now showing > mark hammon

With a lithographic background spanning 18 years, Mark has an acute ability to use colour with both a meticulous and creative attention to detail.

Understanding colour and its creative possibilities is Mark’s self-confessed obsession.  Mark is frequently inspired by photos, colour schemes, music, lyrics, indigenous art and culture, street art, and observations of human interaction.  From this he formulates multiple ideas, sometimes ‘playing’ with them for years, until he is ready to commit them to a piece of tangible art.

Technology is an integral part of art and society, however although Mark is proficient in its use lithographically, he prefers to use original methods and techniques artistically.  Detecting the originality in a single piece of art is paramount to Mark’s process.  Mark wants you to be able to see that each one of his works has been created by human hands.

The craft, diligence, research, skill, and time invested in making each piece of art is what Mark enjoys doing the most.  Mark gets immense satisfaction from creating his art with a free, expressive, and unrestriced mindset.  Mark doesn’t box himself in within one particular style.  Instead he works in many mediums, always experimenting with old and new techniques.  One day he is designing a child’s bedroom mural, the next he is creating a thematic exhibition, and in between he is designing tattoos for private clients.

Commissions motivate me Mark to create a work of desire, personal to the client, that is enjoyed and inspiring.  Each piece of Mark’s artwork is representative of his need to put a little bit of himself into the result.

“I become bored easily doing one style of art, and usually have multiple projects on the go to keep interested’ – Mark Hammon

Mark has five artworks on display and for sale at one hundredth gallery until 26 June 2011.

now showing > janicke johansen

Janicke Johansen is a practising artist and designer with many years of study in both the Arts and Design Industries including a Visual Arts Degree and certificates in Interior Design and Desktop Publishing. She is also currently working part time as a primary teacher.

Janicke’s work is interpretive and modern combining textures, patterns and intense colours to create emotive responses to her immediate environment and emotional memory. There are recurring themes such as people, buildings scapes, flora and fauna that emerge from her work, often with a quirky and childlike innocence about them.

With concerns about current environmental issues, Janicke is determined to limit her impact on the earth by reducing, reusing and recycling resources such as water, paper and electricity.  Her ambition is to continue to limit further environmental impact and to pass on this message to current and future artists.

Janicke has four artworks on display and for sale at one hundredth gallery until 26 June 2011.

introducing isabelle hope grahm

Today we are very excited to open an online exhibition by our first international artist, Isabelle Hope Grahm.

Isabelle hails from California in the United States.

The imagery reflected in Isabelle’s paintings represent her translation of the flow of life and the shapes that emerge from those flows.  Isabelle’s varied use of line, color and form give unique voice to her views spanning from the Macrocosm to the Microcosm.

Isabelle’s first exhibition with one hundredth gallery is titled ‘Ambient Outreach’.

Isabelle’s online exhibition and biography can be found on the NOW SHOWING tab above, or by clicking here.

introducing zoe elms

Today we open an online exhibition by an extremely talented painter, Zoe Elms.

I was fortunate enough to ‘bump’ into Zoe’s work recently whilst walking around the Yarraville Festival.  A born abstract thinker, Zoe is inspired by life’s everyday candid moments and the pursuit of following one’s imagination. Overall her passion lies in bringing to life that what we feel but cannot usually see, energy. 

Subject matter and motion play a huge role in Zoe’s work. Her paintings are vivid and expressionistic and often depict the beauty, sadness, power or essence of the simple things in life.

Zoe’s first exhibition with one hundredth gallery is titled ‘Chance’.

Zoe’s online exhibition and biography can be found on the NOW SHOWING tab above, or by clicking here.

introducing karin zeller

We are proud to open a new Online Exhibition today by artist Karin Zeller.  Born in Germany, Canadian by nationality, and now residing in Melbourne, Karin Zeller has worked as a professional artist since 1990, when she started Personal Touch Portraits, which resulted in hundreds of portrait commissions over a 5 year period.

Karin’s first exhibition with one hundredth gallery is titled ‘Fanciful Felines’.

“For this exhibition, I’ve chosen to feature some of my cat creations. My love of abstract was born about 20 years ago, when I created my first tiger abstract. I’ve always loved cats, but never liked painting them until I stumbled upon Laurel Burch’s colourful cats.  Other influences who have inspired my colourful abstract style are Picasso and Paul Klee.” – Karin Zeller

another couple of steps

Maybe I was in corporate for too long, or maybe I just like being thorough.  Or perhaps I’m a little over-excited as we get closer to opening the gallery.  Either way, I have been conducting more rigorous UAT (that’s User Acceptance Testing) of the hanging system and of the paintings that will hang from them.

Results thus far are very positive.

All works in these photos are my own, and will only adorn the gallery hanging rails if there is spare space; or if I get desperate for an income.
