Artwork Description

“On Safari – Hyena” Immerses the viewer into the dry, earthy tones of a South African landscape. Capturing the essence of a Hyena in its territory, on the scent of their prey, they have a one-track mind and will only stop when they have found them. Up close they are almost pre-historic to look at, and you get a real sense of absolute determination. Glad I was in the jeep. Through delicate layering and spotty textures, the artist brings the animal's coarse fur and spotted coat to life. Painted in a warm palette of ochres, creams, and pale oranges. The artist uses pencil marks to add linear elements and speckled details, imbuing the painting with a sense of motion and texture that accentuates the hyena's dynamic presence.

This painting is a very modern, contemporary abstract work that would look fantastic hanging in your home.

Dianne commenced her career as an artist at age 52, studying a Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art) at Curtin University. Dianne works from her studio in Mullaloo, Western Australia.

Reflecting on her journey so far, she says:

What I have learned is that there are no short cuts – you have to put in the time and do the work. Creativity is a force to be reckoned with when you are an expressive person, the nagging urge inside me compels me to make art and face that blank canvas, to extend myself and find the courage to make those first playful marks. It is like opening ‘Pandora’s Box’ of transient reflections and immediately I am engaged.

Artist Statement

My practice has developed into an emotional performance of expressive, bold application of lines, colour, texture and shape. I work from a place of imaginative play, mark making by scraping, adding and removing, using spray paint, drawing with pens, pencils and crayons. I have an intuitive dialogue with the work. I swing from impulse to a considered mark, line, shape or colour. My abstract paintings are inspired by the various environments that I have found myself in whether environmental, domestic, psychological or industrial landscapes - colours and forms drawn from the world around me and laying dormant within. I always knew there was an abstract expressionist residing within...
