“SELF, SURFACES, AND THE CITY”
Chris Abrahams
Chris writes:
This body of work focuses on the body as self, surfaces and images of Brisbane.
I have used a variety of mediums to capture self, surfaces and the city. These include drawing (pencil, charcoal , pastel and ink) painting (oil, acrylic, and mixed media), etching (Drypoint, hard ground, and colour etching), ceramics ( white raku paper clay and sgraffito).
The end result is two years of exploring images both of the city, self portraits, and process work with paint, oil pastels, scraping back the surface to reveal what’s underneath. This replicates how I am scraping back the surface of skin and the body to reveal what is underneath.
