敬邀您的光临
For the first time 72-year old Australian well-krow Artist Astrid brings her evocative nature-scapes to Shanghai. A grain of sand, a trickle of water, a calming breeze, a blossoming flower are some of the conversation points in her INTERNAL and EXTERNAL landscapes. With her Australian spirit and Asian soul, she interprets her nomadic life using gold leaf and a flourish of experimental techniques on canvas.
这是72岁的澳大利亚画家ASTRID第一次把她的《呼唤自然空间》的作品带到上海展览：一粒沙子、涓涓的细流、平静的微风、盛开的花朵，被绘画出她内在和外在的艺术风景。鉴于她澳大利亚的精神和亚洲的灵魂，她用独特的思维和绘画方式在画布上体现出她的游牧生活给您带来一场视觉的盛宴。
EVOCATIVE NATURE - SCAPES
Most artists restrict their artistic focus on one particular theme which is repeated with variations throughout their entire careers. (on one hand, this makes the artist more identifiable regarding the galleries and buyers but on the other hand it also speaks of only dealing with the ‘known’ and not having the courage to explore the ‘unknown’)
However I put myself into the category of wanting to explore THEMES AND PROCESSES. I have multiple themes that recur depending on my environment, mood and reflective thoughts. But the underlying thread is that of “Nature” with all its complexities and nuances. I also use multiple artistic techniques to better clarify my vision. In that way, each theme is awarded its own uniqueness within the end result.
Plants and Trees have become the people in my landscape as a Sharman sees the spirits and souls in all animate and inanimate things. I hear their lives and growth as they converse with other living things and each other. I feel that our souls are linked to all that is in nature, including ourselves. We as humans are privileged to live among all that is deemed as the natural landscape.
Life itself is transitional and emotive responses are also subject to transitions during momentary contemplations. Each moment is different to the next therefore, the regularity of self-expression has to modulated, refreshed, recalibrated, and changed (moment by moment, day by day) to give the transitional nature of all things, space to live, breath and evolve.
Processes, techniques, and mediums are embarked on, only to let them be the ‘guide’ towards a desired result. I listen to the painting and at times, I feel as if I am standing aside, while the painting dictates its own final conclusion.
Many lives exist in some of my works, with up to 3-4 layers, on certain pieces. They are constantly being returned to the easel for re-assessment or at times, re-invention even after I think I have concluded my investigations and arrived at the place of “stillness”. As Picasso once said – “no painting is finished, only abandoned”. However I prefer Paul Gardner’s summation - 'A painting is never finished - it simply stops in interesting places.'

《呼唤自然空间》
大多数艺术家把他们的艺术重点限制在一个特定的主题，由此重复的变化在整个职业生涯中。（一方面，这使艺术家更容易被画廊和买家识别，但另一方面，它局限于表达广泛被认可的一面，只有处理及擅长而没有勇气探索“未知”世界）。
然而，我把自己归纳在要探索主题和追求过程的那类艺术家。我有多个主题，这借助于我的环境，情绪和反思。但基于是大自然的所有复杂性和微妙之处，我也使用多种艺术技巧和表达方式，以更好地呈现我眼中的景象。由此每一个主题都在最终被授予自己的独特性。
植物和树木都成为我景观中的人物就像Sharman能看见在所有有生命的和无生命的事物。我能感受到他们的生活和成长，以及他们与其他生物之间的交谈。我觉得灵魂与自然界中的一切是相连的，包括我们自己。我们作为人类有幸生活在被认为是自然景观的自然界中。
生活本身就是对变迁和情绪化的反应同时也受到过渡期间短暂的沉思。每一刻都是未来因此通过自我表达的规律调制，刷新，重新调整，改变（每时每刻，每一天）给万物以自然变迁，生存的空间，呼吸和进化。
过程，技术和媒介的实施，只让他们成为一个理想的结果的“指南”。有时我聆听一幅画，我就感觉站在画旁边，绘画决定了自己的命运。
在我的一些作品中还存在着许多生命，以层次的方式存在着，有些多达3-4层。有些画中是有生命的，不断返回画架被重新评估或被重新发现完现即使我认为我已经完成的作品。Picasso曾说：“没有完成的绘画，只有放弃”。然而，我更喜欢Paul Gardner的总结：“一幅画从来不会被完成，它只是停留在一个有趣的地方。”
