Carmel Jenkin – Unravel – 2012
Stock CCJ503
‘Unravel’
Carmel Jenkin, Melbourne Artist
Ink, Acrylic on Canvas
There are no obstacles in Carmel Jenkin’s work. Her nudes are for: ‘getting emotion out there’ . To achieve this, she brings the nude right up to the picture plane, to directly involve the viewer with the subject. While there is an element of abstraction in her work, the female ambience, as if the artist’s eye got so close she could see the nude as emotion in a series of curved shapes. These works are raw and immediate and usually have a distorted and linear form. They may portray a sense of naked angst but, at the same time, show possession of a deeply spiritual soul. At the risk of exclusionism one wonders if these works, drawn by a woman, are a language to be read and pondered by other women. Either way, Carmel Jenkin is engaged in a passionate journey of artistic and life discovery through the female body.

Robert Hague – Reel 2004 – CMS500
Robert Hague – Reel 2004.
Robert Hague has been a practicing sculptor for over three decades and during his career he has participated in solo and group exhibitions in Australia, New Zealand, China, Hong Kong and the United Kingdom. Robert was born in Rotorua, New Zealand and re-located to Australia in the mid-1980s.
In 1999 he was awarded ‘The Director’s Prize’ in Sculpture By The Sea, Sydney. In 2000 he received the ‘Waverley Art Prize’ for Sculpture Sydney, and in 2010 he won the Deakin University Contemporary Small Sculpture Award. Robert’s sculptural work is part of corporate and private collections in Australia, China, New Zealand, United Kingdom and the United States.
Robert is based in Melbourne working primarily with bronze and steel. He is fascinated by the radical asymmetry of his work, one that forces continued change in the work through rotation. He sees it as a revelation in the making that is constantly challenging his ways of creative thinking.
This work was inspired by a conversation with an American sculptor, about rotational symmetry. ‘I had argued against symmetry but decided to experiment with rotation after his comments on repetition’. In particular to the Orbis series, the internal cuts make reference to the Maori wood carvings he grew up amongst in Rotorua, New Zealand.
Painted metallised steel. H. 250 x 76 x 54 cm
