Australian Contemporary artist Carmel McCrow Canberra. Paintings are mainly oil on canvas but she has worked in watercolours, acrylics, charcoal and pastels.
Her works establish a link between the landscape's reality and that imagined by its conceiver. These works focus on concrete questions that determine our existence. By emphasising aesthetics, she tries to approach a wide scale of subjects in a multi-layered way, likes to involve the viewer in a way that is sometimes physical and believes in the idea of function following form in a work.
Australian Contemporary Visual Artist Carmel McCrow works directly respond to the surrounding environment and uses everyday experiences from the artist as a starting point. Often these are framed instances that would go unnoticed in their original context. By exploring the concept of landscape in a nostalgic way, she investigates the dynamics of landscape, including the manipulation of its effects and the limits of spectacle based on our assumptions of what landscape means to us. Rather than presenting a factual reality, an illusion is fabricated to conjure the realms of our imagination.
Her works doesn't reference recognisable form. The results are deconstructed to the extent that meaning is shifted and possible interpretation becomes multifaceted. Contemporary Artist Carmel McCrow currently lives and works in Canberra.
SOUL COUNTRY
SOUL COUNTRY Soul Country might be a region anyone could come across, catching a glimpse that stirs an emotional or spiritual response, for me, the foreground trees became portals through which to pass. The quiet, still trees on the far shore, the witnesses to the gentle, steady flow of the individual sparkles of life.

The enjoyment for me, as an artist is having the freedom of following through with whatever has stirred my feelings and imagination. I have created this eclectic mix of paintings subjects and styles, following that path. They share no particular theme, however, they do have one thing in common, they appear from the same artist's hand and mind being the result of an idea, whether visual or inspirational, that ends up taking a life of their own.
A few, are comfortably expressed by a quiet small canvas, others demand a larger space to be recognised. Mood changes in the work are the reflection of what I was feeling at the time, clearly expressed in the differing subjects, techniques and colours used, from serenity through to chocolate cravings.
