Ball
Charmaine Ball
Entrap, 2022
Fine white stoneware clay, bisque fired
Photo Eva Fernandez
17h x 30w x 30d cm
Estimate: $900 - $1,300 Charmaine Ball’s art practice responds to structural elements encountered within the built environment, with architecture and materials - forms, angles, shadows - providing impetus for response. Spanning painting and sculpture, an exploration of line, shape and colour characterises her work. Working with white stoneware clay her hand-built sculptures are bisque fired and left chalkily unglazed. Through the manipulation of material, Ball examines spatial configuration and tactility through an interplay of weight and weightlessness, light and shadow, and positive and negative space. Her current work is informed by her fascination with concrete bunkers of World War II. Like these ascetic fortifications, her works appear as contained, shut-off realms - spaces that both barricade and confine. In her exploration of the intractability of the Brutalist forms, Ball adds a softness - heft and austerity is mediated by a fragility.

Being awarded an Artsource Fremantle Studio for a period of four years after graduating from North Metropolitan TAFE provided a pivotal
opportunity to develop her visual art practice. Ball exhibits regularly and now has her own studio in Northbridge and is represented in both private and public collections.

Sandra Black
Stirling Scape, 2023
Cast coloured porcelain, clear glaze, photo decals,
13.4h x 17.7w x 10.5d cm
Estimate: $450 - $580 Acclaimed ceramic artist Sandra Black lives and works in Fremantle, WA. Her porcelain forms are delicate and tranquil. Inspired by nature, Sandra combines abstract and organic shapes in fluid patterns to decorate her bowls and vessels. The natural colouration of ebony and white porcelain emit a cool glow as light is captured and transmitted through her work. This effect is integral to Sandra’s aesthetic and is created from electric kiln firing of the porcelain which produces a cool blue-grey look or a warmer white appearance as colours blended in the initial pouring of the slip. Sandra studied at the WA Institute of Technology (now Curtin University). She has regularly exhibited in solo and invitational shows since 1976 across Australia, as well as overseas including USA, Germany, Canada, India, New Zealand, Netherlands, Switzerland and Japan. She has undertaken numerous residencies around the world, including a 2018 residency in Jingdezhen (China) and a 2015 residency in Maihar, Madhya Pradesh (India). Her work is widely represented in regional, state, national and international collections including the National Gallery of Australia, Parliament House, Art Gallery of Western Australia, Winnipeg Art Gallery (Canada), Gifu Prefecture Ceramic Museum (Japan), and the Auckland Gallery and Museum (New Zealand).

Sandra is a member of the Ceramic Arts Association of Western Australia. A major retrospective of her work is being planned for 2024/25.

Tim Burns
Stone Garden, 2022
Limited Edition print, 7/20
29h x 60w cm, framed
Estimate: $250 - $350
Tim Burns is a legendary figure in the history of Australian underground art. He rose to notoriety in the early 1970s with a series of (literally) explosive art actions, before decamping to New York, where he remained, on and off until the mid-1990s. He now resides on a large property near the town of York, Western Australia. Rather than identifying as a painter, filmmaker, karaoke videographer, installation artist, theatre director or performer (although he has done all these and more), Burns calls himself “a context artist”. What unites the hugely varied set of projects Burns has worked on over the last forty years is a constant desire to set up situations which critically reflect on our hypermediated, industrialised western society. His work has been exhibited in numerous major shows and art institutions, worldwide, including The Beaubourg Paris, ICA London, ICA Boston, MOMA New York, The Hirschorn Museum Washington, the Baltimore Museum, The National Gallery of Victoria, Art Gallery of NSW and South Australia, The National Gallery of Australia, the Sydney Biennale and numerous regional galleries in Australia. He is represented in public and private collections internationally.

Estimate: $150 - $200 for both
Rachel Coad’s practice spans 20 years. She was awarded the $50,000 Black Swan Prize for portraiture in 2016.

She has been shortlisted for numerous awards including the BankWest Painting Prize (winner of the People’s Choice) and the Doug Moran Prize in 2019.

Rachel Coad is represented by Gallerysmith, Melbourne.

Jo Darvall
Winged Realm No 32, 2020
Unique print on paper, 78h x 54w cm
Estimate: $1,500 - $3,000 Originally from Melbourne, Jo Darvall has been exhibiting for over three decades. Her works have featured in 20 solo exhibitions and 48 group exhibitions in Australia, China, London, Fiji and Singapore. She is the recent award winner of WA’s richest regional art prize, the Collie Art Award. Jo’s work articulates her sensate encounters with bushland and the ocean arising from her frequent walks in nearby forests and coastal areas during which she draws, paints and listens. Her work enlivens connections of being enmeshed in place. In combining these elements, she expresses the free interplay between abstraction and figuration.

Jo Darvall studied at the Victorian College of the Arts, receiving a BA in Fine Art in 1990. She established the Artists for Kids Culture Trust with fellow Roar Artists in the 1990s, and has raised over AU$1m for charitable projects. She has taught at the Fremantle Arts Centre (FAC), UWA, and is currently a sessional accademic at Curtin University. She is also co-founder of the Swan River Print Studio at Goolagatup Heathcote.

Jo Darvall is represented by Linton & Kay Galleries and Studio Gallery, Yallingup

Tent, 2019
Oil on board, 46 x 68 cm framed
Estimate $1,200 - $1,500 Robert Gear is a visual artist based in Perth, whose paintings draw on personal imagery and experiences from his life.
