Innholdsfortegnelse for March 2025 i Art Almanac

Art Almanac has always published a variety of creative talent throughout our fifty-plus years, and our monthly offerings are rarely categorised into defining themes. However, while working on this issue, it became clear that there is an abundance of exhibitions focusing on women artists across the country this month. So, in tune with International Women's Day (6 March), we've (unintentionally, yet proudly) provided a platform to showcase and celebrate women artists and their work – from our cover artist Mel Douglas' use of line to inform, define and enable three-dimensional space in glass to still-life artist Criss Canning's sixty-year exploration of flowers, textiles and decorative objects; Bridie Gillman's abstract paintings “where reality and fiction intermingle with memory and emotion,” and Lani Westerman's 'pocket views' capturing “those special interactions within the…

Thames & Hudson Criss Canning has been making art for sixty years. The result is an honest painting practice, where the artist shows up in the studio every day to make art. She has refined her technique for a skill that is distinctively hers. One of integrity that doesn't buckle to trends or collector demands. Instead, it's a dedicated practice full of discovery and quiet moments of introspection. “That's one of the really wonderful things to find, that after 60 years of painting, I'm still learning something new with every painting,” says Canning. “It's about colour … colour is such a complex thing … it just continues to fascinate me.” A still life painter, Canning had dabbled in portraiture and landscapes. But in 1986, she lived in the Greek islands…

Niloufar Lovegrove Cypress Growing Season Whitehorse Artspace 8 March to 26 April 2025 Melbourne Iranian Australian artist Niloufar Lovegrove's new body of work responds to the enduring courage of the women in Iran and throughout the world who continue to pursue their freedom, and, like the cypress tree, stand tall and resilient. Lovegreen's stylised depiction of hands draws inspiration from poet Forugh Farrokhzad, who wrote, “I will plant my hands in the garden; they will grow, I know.” In Cypress Growing Season, nurturing hands represent the continual commitment of women, planting their beliefs like seeds in a garden, with care and fortitude.
