“My journey was not defined by my will, but by my willingness to work within the confines of what I was given.” Erika Cholich works in oil paint directly from life. She describes her practice of engaging with the subject as an important aspect of her creative process. This body of work began as an examination of the flow of seasons, specifically in Australia, through nature. The narrative of Australian nature is purposeful and harsh, tempered by periods of flowering beauty. Cholich employs a combination of technical skill, with intuitive mark making, always searching for a balance of the known and the perceived. "It became impossible not to draw parallels between nature and humanity", explains Cholich. This exhibition is a celebration of Cholich's artistic journey over the last year-and-a-half.
