PROJECT 3: Art Gallery - Artists Analysis

The following artists are the artists I initially considered for my art gallery:

- Aboriginal artists – Gordon Bennett (painting), Albert Namatjira (landscape painting – watercolour over pencil)
- Bill Viola (video)
- Jim Dine (drawings, paintings, sculptures)
- James Turrell (light installations)
- Fiona Hall (photography - gelatin silver photographs/installations/sculpture/etching)

The inclusion of many, if not all of these artists was meant to represent the want to promote as many up-and-coming artists as possible. While perhaps focusing on only two might create a better appreciation of their works, the intention was to demonstrate the gallery’s capacity and capability to exhibit a diversity of works no matter what the subject or medium is (media including painting, video, photography, etching, sculpture) with a lesser emphasis on the artists’ artworks.
