Born  1949   in  Lozan  near  Virovitica,  and  his  home  is   in  Zagreb.   The   paintings   of   Stjepan   Dukic   Pista   are  developed   on   the   basis   of   classic   aesthetics,   within  which  the  artist  discovered  and  opened  up  a  space  for  his   individual   experience   and   expression,   which,  together   with   a   geometric   abstract   line,   form   an  integral   part   (in   the   context   of   the   entirety)   of   the  work,   and   through   this   he   confirms   his   singularity   in  contemporary  Croatian  art.

IAN  GENTLE  

Lowlife  1    |  Unknown  Acrylic  on  canvas,  119cm  x  119cm  

1945  –  2009   Ian  Gentle   is  renowned  for  his  sculptural  pieces.  His  trademark  humour  and  wit  was  an   integral  part   of  his  work  which   could  be  described  perhaps   as  more  about  drawing   than   sculpture.    The  elements  of  his  works  have   been  described   as   “a   type   of   personal  hieroglyphics—animated   and   fused   from   a   dictionary  of  linear  memories  that  stretch  time.”  Ian   Gentle’s   work   is   represented   in   almost   all   major  state  galleries  as  well  as  in  extensive  private  collections    

SYDNEY  BALL    

Tiger  Dawn  |  1974  22/24  Screen  Print,    50cm  x  76cm  

Australian  Printmakers  Collection  

Having  lived   in  both  New  York  and  Europe  throughout  his  artistic  career,  Sydney  Ball's  work   is   a  reflection  of  his   architectural   surroundings.   Working   in   both   hard-­‐edge   abstraction,   figurative   and   expressionistic   styles,  Ball's   use   of   bright   primary   colours   has   remained   a  distinct   entity   throughout   the   development   of   his  artistic   career.   During   the   period   of   the   late   70s,   Ball  was   heavily   influenced   by   the   American   Colour   Field  painters  in  which  their  free  and  lively  use  of  technique  and  colour  are  reflected  his  work.  

LAWRENCE  DAWS  

Girl  Sewing  |  1977  10  /  40  Etching,    41cm  x  41cm  

Australian  Printmakers  Collection  

Lawrence   Daws   has   enjoyed   a   long   and   successful  career  as  a  painter  and  printmaker  during  which  he  has  depicted   the  different   characteristics  of  the  Australian  landscape  with  a  unique  sensibility.  

The   strange   juxtapositions   of   landscapes,   figures   and  forms   create   a   personal   lexicon   –   a   kind   of   secret  language  –  which  when  put  with  his  technical  mastery,  demonstrates  that  Daws  has   lost  none  of  his  ability  to  tantalize  and  intrigue.
