‘Heartbroken’

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.

These magazine covers are a wonderful documentation of early 20th Century art showing exploration in both vibrant colours and composition. Many of the artists gained acknowledgement through this work and went on to successful careers including work on the more famous Vogue covers. By the very nature of these publications most were thrown away making these very scarce items (colour process prints).

The Wall Series is the most personal of all of Jeff’s work.

Emerging out of a difficult period in his life, Jeff uses the imagery and innocence of the school yard to portray his journey of self-exploration and his liberation in finding purpose and place.

The exhibition featured at Kozminsky Galleries in Melbourne Australia, in 2006.
