Elisa Crossing will give a floor talk to discuss her solo exhibition of paintings, Move Me!
Incorporating scenes of the artist's studio, the site of active looking, and inspiration from the bodily rhythm implied in Fragonard's painting "The Swing", these paintings have been made to mirror the to-and-fro of the painter in the studio, leaning forward to paint and stepping back to reflect. Up close, details in the painting dissolve into abstraction and sensation; from a distance, rhythms, structures, and contexts emerge. From this oscillation between intimacy and distance, it is revealed that seeing is never fixed or complete.
Elisa Crossing is an innovative, enthusiastic, and much-loved arts educator at the ANU, School of Art & Design. Her professional career as a visual artist spans three decades with ten solo exhibitions and over 30 group shows. Civic Art Bureau is delighted to present its latest exhibition of paintings.
