Leanne Roberts




Digital Corset
Digital Imaging and Printmaking 2008
Leanne has recently successfully completed a Cert IV in Contemporary Art
at Chisholm Institute and also completed a Diploma of Arts in Visual art
at both Frankston and Dandenong campuses. Leanne has worked as a
photographer and is multi-skilled as an artist. In the forthcoming exhibition Leanne
will be displaying a large scale work which initially began as a small post card size etching of a corset. The etching image was then taken onto Photoshop and
merged with a series of painting images linked to the exploration of the theme "tattoo".
The corset image was then developed into a series of 5 images and printed large scale approximately 3 m in length. The slightly pixelated, digital image adds a further dimension as one engages the multi-layered meanings of this work.

The Innocence of Home - Australia #1


The Innocence of Home - Australia #2 2009







The Innocence of Home - Australia

This recent series of digital paintings, “The Innocence of Home - Australia” reflects on a sense of place with specific reference to nature and man’s relationship to it. The images try to explore what this relationship is from a semi-biographical perspective. Many of the images are derived from visits to Marysville, the Buda home in Castlemaine and my own home in Endeavour Hills. Images of Hermes (the God, Mercury), books (learning), the eye, the paintbrush, my home, abstract painting and nature painting are all references to my persona and identity in relationship to a sense of home.

The home is a place of refuge, much as the creating of a painting on a canvas has a feeling of relative safety. The creation of digital art through the use of the computer suggests for me a greater sense of the unknown, as if it is easier to ‘loose oneself’ in the digital world. The relative sense of safety of home is changing since 9/11 and global warming and more recently the Victorian bushfires. This series of work contemplates the changing world we live in.

Persian Poem
15 October - 18 November 2008



The Exhibition:



The work displayed is a large digital print entitled “Persian Poem”.
The artwork conveys the fascination the artist hasfor the use of colour and pattern.
The artist makes reference to her cultural roots from Iran. One moves through the image
with its many layers much as one would read a poem.

The meaning of the work is not immediate, it requires timeand reflection.




The Artist:



Kosar Majani is an emerging artist who currently produces photography, painting and digital art. In 2004 she completed a Diploma of Arts: Visual Art at Chisholm Institute, Dandenong
and is this year completing a Cert. IV in Computer Aided Art. Originally from Iran, Kosar is now settled in Dandenong with her family. She has recently exhibited her work in a solo
exhibition and is also currently working towards a public arts project in Dandenong.


Kosar is a talented and committed artist who plans to further her study of Art at University.

Looking Out

18 November - 17 December 2008

The Exhibition:

The three works displayed are large digital prints entitled “I”,“ Trapped” and “Looking Out”. The focus of artwork has been to depict the way social pressure imprisons or alienates women,
in its powerful pressure to conform to an ideal body image and appearance.

The artist says “ with all three pieces I have worked with collage, paint and oil pastel.”
“Two entirely different artworks were photographed and reworked in Photoshop, creating
a layer upon layer, strengthening the impression of the figures looking out through the layers of colour.” The artwork is for sale and can also be purchased in limited edition at smaller scale.

The Artist:

Yvonne Picot describes herself as “an emerging artist since 2004”, when she completed a Diploma of Arts, 2004-2005. Currently she is studying at Chisholm Institute, Dandenong
where she is enrolled in a Certificate IV in Contemporary Art (Computer Aided Art).
Yvonne says, “My life experience has enriched me with a variety of quite disparate themes and an enthusiastic interest in exploring a wide variety of media and techniques with which to portray them.”
The artist was recently the winner of the Jayco 2D Graphic Award at the Chisholm
Institute Awards, Drum Theatre, Dandenong.
