Todays Catch – Robyn Pedley

Description

Todays Catch – Robyn Pedley

Inspired by ocean life.

Ocean

Ocean themes have played a role in Robyn’s art practice for many years, incorporating patterns, subtleties of colour and movement found in nature. Through a Marine Biology field trip with Newcastle University she took these ideas further looking into coral reef regeneration, documenting coral specimens and fish species thriving at the University’s research site in Vanuatu. Using underwater photography, Robyn has intertwined research material with creativity, to create a series of paintings and drawings based on ocean life and coral gardens.

About the Artist

Robyn’s works are inspired by her wonder of nature (both above and below the surface) and her inquisitive love of colour. Taking her view of a given landscape, re-interpreting and bringing a fresh perspective through her articulate use of colour, she allows the viewer to experience the beauty of creation around us.

Robyn Pedley is a full-time artist, co-director of Bobbie P Gallery and has completed a BFA majoring in painting and drawing at the University of Newcastle. She is an award winning artist, has held numerous solo and group exhibitions, and has works in both public and private collections both locally and internationally.
