Ros Auld at Cudgegegong Gallery (added 22nd July, 2008)

Ros Auld will present her solo exhibition titled Essentially Landscapes at Cudgegong Galleryfrom 1 August – 1 September 2008.

The exhibition will be partnered with a Between Seasons Showing featuring paintings in the upstairs gallery.

Essentially Landscape will feature ceramic vessels, wall sculptures and works on paper. Ros’ work seeks inspiration from the Australian landscape in its colours, textures and forms.

“I am basically inspired by the patterns, colours and textures of the landscape. Observing the changing landscape is a constant source of enjoyment and reference material.”
Ros cites her work as an “evolving” process, building over a period of 30 years of art practice.
“My interest has always been involved with the aesthetics of visual language and the physicality of the ceramic process,” she says. “Working as a regional artist means easy access to the natural landscape.”
For Ros, benefits to living and practicing in the region are many. “There is a network of diverse artists, not dominated by fashions, involvement with the local regional gallery and the ability to work in splendid isolation.”
“My plan for future art practice is to continue to evolve through experimentation; play with mixed media and develop larger sculptural works expressive of the environment.”

Director Cudgegong Gallery Lyn Cole says Ros has a stunning history of work and the Gallery is happy to host such a diverse range from one artist.

“Ros Auld is a ceramic artist whose work is represented in many galleries and private collections in Australia and overseas.  Working from her Borenore studio in the NSW Central Tablelands, she has produced a distinctive range of large vessels, wall tiles and free standing sculptures.”

“From a background of Japanese aesthetics and salt glazed ceramics, her work has developed a strong individuality,” said Lyn.  “Her recent ideas evolve from primitive art objects which she has always admired because of their boldness and integrity. 

“The sculptural quality of the forms is important – while some are simple vessels, others are much more complex. “

This exhibition will continue to reinforce Cudgegong Gallery’s position as a specialist for suppling some of the finest ceramics in Australia, bringing dynamic and innovative work into the region.
