Anushka Kempken Art
South African, German, b. 1996
Anushka Kempken is an upcoming Cape Town based artist and holds an Honours degree in Fine Art. She explores different ways of manipulating surface materials through weaving techniques, creating ambiguity and depth.
Anushka sees her work as a continuation of the organic harmony seen in nature and life. Her art making process is a series of intuitive decisions that result in a chaos and harmony of individual stories that come together. A process of chaos and order. To make her weavings she paints several artworks on paper before cutting them up to recreate a final image. In a series of artworks one can see that the weavings all carry parts of each other. It is in the repetitive motion of cutting and weaving that Anushka discovers a meditative space, through which
the very tactile experience loses shape and form. This allows her to be part of the creative unfolding rather than directing its course.
Each rectangle of weaving carries its own story and details, but viewed from afar they merge into one harmonious image. This is synonymous of our human experience, where our daily lives are busy and
chaotic and only by stepping back and detaching from the mind, we discover the harmony.(Biography provided by Axis Art Gallery)

Bloom
By G. Campbell Lyman

(Comes framed in a deep-profile maple floater frame, ready to hang.)
Artist's Statement: "I was working on my loose, almost graffiti-like "Rosetta" series when this painting took a turn towards formality, and instead of trying to wrench it back into the Rosetta mold I just let it go where it wanted to. Has my usual insane assortment of mediums . . . "
“Lyman’s work evolves restlessly, with the common elements generally being deft and unusual color choices that balance assonance and dissonance, and vestiges of the hand and facture purposely left in the paintings. The negative space is often so meticulously worked that it’s almost as if the objects – usually simple shapes – are there as much to complement the background as vice versa. Despite the often bold colors there is an elegance about his paintings that prevents them from being either loud or decorative. "
Artbeit Zeitschrift
“His paintings are a refreshing departure from the current abstract art world’s seemingly endless parade of fields of color with scribbles providing form, a style that is easily mimicked and has become a sort of “safe,” accessible go-to. There are confident decisions in these paintings appearing as commitments of strongly delineated forms and unexpected collisions of color that give the work a visceral, confident and playful soul, increasingly missing from contemporary expressionist abstraction. They are the paintings of a real painter rather than a decorative artist.”

Quorum
By G. Campbell Lyman
Located in New Orleans, LA
(Comes framed in a deep-profile maple or black floater frame, ready to hang.)
Artist's Statement: "This painting harkens back to my 'Gridish' series but with more negative space, a broader array of media and more complexity to the oval forms. I have tried to create tension between these iconic forms through the divergence of dissonant and unusual materials, colors and textures. These ovals keep reappearing in my work; they seem almost like groups of silent but sentient beings to me."
“Lyman’s work evolves restlessly, with the common elements generally being deft and unusual color choices that balance assonance and dissonance, and vestiges of the hand and facture purposely left in the paintings.
