Artist Collaboration

Annelise x Gavin Brown
Imagine a vibrant fusion of artistry and design, as a visionary painter and printmaker, Gavin Brown, merges their creative genius with a renowned sleepwear designer Annelise Newman.
This is a wonderful convergence of deep friendship and creativity…A dynamic duo emerges as Annelise, sleepwear designer and her beloved friend and Artist Gavin Brown, join forces to ignite a riot of colour and pattern. Bound by their maximalist sensibilities, they embark on a truly exhilarating journey to infuse sleepwear with artistry.
With Mr Brown’s mesmerising artwork and Annelise’s keen eye for fabric and form, each piece becomes a testament to the power of friendship and the limitless possibilities of creative synergy.
 

Artist's Statement

My work is a constant evolution of technique, vision and mood, informed by the lense of new experiences. Each body of work is a culmination of prior exhibitions and the refining of techniques, affording me the ability to explore new directions and themes.

Collage has long formed a basis of my work and I whilst I continue to source material from advertising and popular culture media, I layer with my own photographic records. My landscapes are abundant with observations; of the graffiti which pervades Melbourne’s energetic inner urban environments, to images gleaned from extensive travel. 

Composition is paramount to the success of interpreting my chaotic and opulent visions. The rhythm of an image allows the eye to travel around a painting, registering fragments, whilst reading the image in its entirety. 

Glimpses of private worlds fascinate me, and I enjoy being an observer and commentator of popular culture in all its excesses and hedonism, its beauty and its ugliness.  I wish for my work to evoke an emotional response from the audience through the scenarios and narratives I have created, and inspire them to interpret and enhance the stories themselves.
