Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is extremely pleased to announce that Angeline Bartholomeusz has been named as the Gallery’s new featured artist and she will now be promoted by the gallery for the next 14 days in the gallery’s Artist Showcase.
Angeline Bartholomeusz is an award-winning artist based in Australia. She was selected as 1 of the top twelve finalists in the gallery’s 28th Solo Art Exhibition Series. The placement in this competition qualified her artwork to be showcased in this feature.
Angeline Bartholomeusz’s Artist Showcase feature will be promoted to hundreds of major news outlets, with inclusion on Google News & Bing News. In addition, the gallery will also be featuring and promoting her artwork in the gallery’s various social media networks for further exposure.
Below are Angeline Bartholomeusz’s Artist Biography, Artist Statement and 5 of her “A Sense of Belonging” series of acrylic paintings that were submitted to this competition.
Angeline Bartholomeusz is a self-taught artist. She has developed a unique style that has won numerous awards and has been selected as a finalist for several shows. This encouraged Angeline to take the leap and become a full-time artist in 2022. Angeline is highly supportive of the arts and has been a committee member of her local art society since 2012. Recently, she has been elected to her state's premier arts society (the Victorian Artists Society) as a committee member.
As an artist, Angeline paints from memory. This is to capture the emotional content of a place and to create a sense of place. She is influenced by the Australian Modernists including Arthur Streeton, Russel Drysdale, Fred Williams, and Tom Roberts. All these artists created artwork that uniquely depicted the land and its people. Angeline strives to create artwork that invites viewers into her world.
I am an abstract painter who uses landscape as a metaphor. I enjoy telling stories in my paintings for the viewer to interpret. My themes have a strong relationship with the land and the environment.
The latest series I titled, “A Sense of Belonging”. I aimed to capture the connection between an individual and a place. In this series, I used a transparent layering technique to place a portion of a figure within the landscape. My aim is to create work that resonates with the viewer and allows them to see different perspectives.
