This week we have added a selection of very recent work by Californian artist Emily Silver.
Emily throws tradition out of the window, approaching her drawings as extensions of her sculptural work. Surfaces are built with an eclectic mix of sculptural materials in addition to paint & pencil. The results are innovative and exciting. As subject matter she looks to funerals, parties, parades and carnivals, using iconography, materials and colors associated with these events to create her artwork. On a conceptual level Emily's work examines the space between the celebratory and the tragedy. Often comedy is used through the incorporation of a written 'punch line'. While crude, funny or devastating, Silver uses comedy to make a poignant comment on the resilience of the human spirit and the role of ritual in our lives. Visit EMILY SILVER to see the full portfolio of work. Prints start at $85.00 AUD.TW FineArt
NEW ART IN PRINT - Aviva Reed & Greg MacLaughlin
This week we have introduced an exciting new artist to our limited edition print portfolio! Aviva Reed is a Melbourne based visual ecologist who uses her interdisciplinary skills to communicate knowledge of scientific concepts through visual art. Her numerous projects to date include the Gaia Series, inspired by the scientific theory of evolution for the Windgrove property at Roaring Beach, Tasmania.
We are so excited to be releasing a limited edition series of these 13 prints. The suite of work tracks the earths evolution from the Pre Cambrian era through to the Paleocene. Each piece captures in gorgeous detail the key features of each geological era.

Also new this week are some wonderful new prints by Greg MacLaughlin. Greg's signature trapezoid has been infused with collage elements and placed in new spatial environments, adding an exciting new dimension to his investigation of shape, form and endless possibility.

NEW ART IN PRINT - Abby Goldstein
Fresh from her summer residency in Georgia, Abby Goldstein is back in New York City with a beautiful body of new work!
Influenced by maps and the rhythms and patterns of nature, Goldstein's work has taken on a natural color palette with references to biology and flora intertwined with her characteristically lyrical line.
In the words of Paul Klee "a line is a dot that went for a walk" and Abby's works are a mass of wandering dots spreading across the paper, intertwining and overlapping each other to create an abstract web of line and color. Perhaps in an effort to contain her roaming line, Abby often marks out a pencil drawn border within the page. This imposed perimeter however seems no match for her line and it's boundaries are often breached by the wandering dots.
The edge of the page is more definite and not so forgiving and an interesting tension is created between the surface of the paper and the markings of Goldstein. The masses of lines have no option in this case but to bounce around the interior of the page, twisting back from the edge to reconnect with the central mass as if encased by the 2 dimensional format.
We are thrilled to add a selection of Abby's summer portfolio to TWFineArt's New Art in Print. Visit Abby's PAGE to see the new selection of work in limited edition print. Small prints start at $85.00 and we ship world wide.

Gert is an artist, illustrator, florist and designer whose practice explores form, repetition and the space between the corporeal and the abstracted. She has studied writing and visual communication and her attempts to elevate detail through the exploration of colour and pattern hark back to her roots as a language-based communicator. Gert’s illustrated zines have featured in a National Gallery of Victoria exhibition and her work has been published in the comic anthology Tango. She has curated pop-up exhibitions within domestic spaces and is currently in the process of implementing a site-specific mural in the Redlands.
Geyer's minimal, stylized prints are reminiscent of the infamous Alex Katz, with a local, personal flair as she documents the homes of neighborhoods of Brisbane's suburbia. We are excited to be working with her and look forward to seeing her fantastic work in the homes of our customers.
