I could only paint an hour a day due to the fact that I was completely disabled and awaiting a painful 12 months to have total hip replacement surgery for both hips. I felt very fragile and vulnerable, so I painted this without rushing, without forcing. I felt a tenuous, yet alive energy force around me that connected me to the work and I would down tools once the pain made me so tired that I could barely stand up. This usually took about an hour from the moment I started working on the painting. So in a slow and gentle fashion I painted this work that gradually took form over a longer period of time than usual and in much shorter sessions.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #800180;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><p><span style="color: #800180;"><br /></span></p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

After a fun show at Michael Reid Northern Beaches in 2022, which I pushed through the painting due to chronic pain, things got worse and I only managed a few paintings after that in 2023. Both my hips will be replaced in September and November this year due to ongoing pain and drastic limitation of mobility. Looking back at these paintings, I am pleased that I pushed through the pain and sometimes having to go off a certain medication so that I could focus for a sustained period of time, to find the patience and calmness that is needed to come to an empty state of mind to produce these works.<br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

<div><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: medium;"><i>Japan II is the second painting of 2 works that I was
inspired to paint after my very first trip to Japan a few years ago. I
travelled with my closest friend who is also a painter. We both share a love of
oriental culture and philosophy.<br /> </i><i>I particularly have always been drawn to Japanese poetry,
architecture, in general the very refined culture and fine sense of artistic
arrangement steeped in ancient philosophy and time worn wisdom.<br /></i><i>I couldn’t resist the simple nature of the combination of
objects, all Japanese, that are in this painting. The empty Japanese gin
bottle, the simple yet elegant cups from the Japanese store Daiso, and the
small but practical sake bottle that I bought from a tourist shop in Kyoto.
Elegance doesn’t have to mean expensive, oh, and an apple, as a nod to nature
and its essential healing, nourishing role in all of this. A ‘visual’ haiku in
effect!</i></span></div>

<div><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: arial;">
Painting these works helped me to sift and to reflect on childhood memories and connections.<br />
The pink patterned Royal Doulton set was my mother's good china, and expressed so much her ideals of English country living. Unfortunately, she was never able to a live country life as she was beset with depression and spent most of her time in bed for the last 30 years and before that I remember her crying a lot and telling me things that were inappropriate for my young ears to hear. Funnily enough, the coffee pots had lids, but they were all the wrong size and didn't fit the pots. I threw out the lids with a sense of remembrance of childhood frustration that I often used to feel around my mother.<br />
<br />
The other cups of a modern design, express me in a sense, in comparison with my mother. I was able to function in the world in a way that she was unable to do. I had different values, certainly a much freer life than her youth, which she felt deeply. I didn't fuss about much but just got on with things, I observed more and kept to myself. I was free and innocent, unaware of my mother's continual projections on to me. Understanding much more about the situation now, has led me to feel peace and an inner reconciliation in me.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #444444;">It’s strange to
consider the seemingly inconsequential things that make up our everyday lives.
The moments we encounter, the views we see, the arrangement of objects in our
kitchens, bedrooms and offices, even those brief interludes with family and
friends that pass by as each new day fades into the past, all this is made up
of discreet events and things that mark out the passage of time. In some ways
social media records the minutiae of these kinds of encounters but they are
denuded of context, and more importantly, of emotion. The works in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Boat Smoke Bowl </i>by RSJ Barker, Leonie
Khoury and Dean Manning restore a sense of meaning to the passing and
apparently insignificant.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #444444;">Barker’s past works
have been small-scale pieces that appear to have begun with figurative elements
but ended up as dense, painterly abstracts. A sense of that older work is still
apparent in this selection of newer pieces – the scale is still modest, and the
surfaces are worked with the sure hand of an artist who has spent much energy
on understanding texture and detail, but these new paintings also have a
delightful element of figuration. They feature an intuitive combination of
elements observed from his coastal home – ships, aircraft and birds - treated
as equal elements in the painting, relative size observed with an
impressionistic, personal perspective. They are works that abound with life,
the vivid reality glanced out a window, or considered from a headland. </span></span></div>

<div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #444444;">The sardonic work
that Khoury presents in this show inevitably invites comparison to the work of
Georgio Morandi, the great Italian painter of elegant, minimalist still lives.
Khoury’s paintings gather together things that, individually, are the result of
a refined design process and manufacture, objects that tend to, in my house at
least, stand at odds with the ever-rolling chaos of the kitchen.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The decorative teapot, the coffee plunger,
glazed earthenware bowls and jugs, that little blue ramekin [the last survivor
of a set of six], combined together against a black wall connect us to the
universe of quiet contemplation and Zen acceptance, the Morandian ideal. But
Khoury also frames these objects with subtle, humorous reminders of the world
we live in – packing cardboard and barcodes. We might still find transcendence
in the everyday, but it likely comes to us courtesy of Ikea.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></span></div>

</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #444444;">The thread of
humour in Barker and Khoury’s paintings takes flower in Manning’s work. His
ceramic tiles, delicate and likely to break, yet also like the ceramics of
antiquity possibly able to last centuries, record incidental thoughts and
images. Manning’s texts are imaginings of unlikely scenarios extrapolated from
everyday kitchen accidents, or recount unfortunate exhibition breakages or, in
contrast, are a remembrance of a fallen soldier [possibly not serious]. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We also find pigeons, friendly goats, games of
backgammon and a giant monster, all painted with Manning’s careful but carefree
style. His paintings of nudes offer a different aspect to his work, an intimate
and subtle encounter, casual but nonetheless beautiful.</span></span></div>

<div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #444444;">If one had to
gather together the images that are significant in our lives, I’m sure most
people would tend to include pictures of loved ones, significant birthdays and
marriages, and baby’s first steps, and while all these things are indeed
significant, they don't speak to the texture of the everyday, where most of us
tend to spend the majority of our time. In these works, this trio of artists
brings that texture into focus, a reminder that what we share is not always
great events, or even significant ones, but capture the drift of things as we
journey together into the future. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #783f04;">These paintings were painted in one session, as an exercise. It was a learning experience in getting enough detail that I needed by pushing the wet paint around. In this case, it is not really detail that you want but just enough to suggest. I started to get more of a feel for it in the second painting. I have put a wonderful quote below that I found so inspiring that I read from a book recently.</span><br />

<span style="color: #660000;">Painting this picture was an exercise in not painting what I remembered but to keep my vision on seeing as a painter. This is a second painting of the same subjects in almost the same configuration. I find the colours and tones very soothing, I think I could paint this picture many times and it would always be as if I were painting it for the first time.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="color: #990000;">An
interesting process, painting this fruit and jar still life. When it
started to look like soup, instead of what I wanted, that was the moment
for me to trust the process completely and I happily completed this in
the second session.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><br />
<br />
Why
was it tricky? I think the tones are all very similar, so in this case
it is often quite difficult to get clarity, in mind and on the canvas. </span></div>
