I have never liked yellow… until RIGHT NOW! Australian artist Joan Ross and her hilarious use of neon yellow has changed my mind completely. Long live yellow … well, as long as it’s combined with historical scenes of pastoral villages and fancy ladies. ps. If that dog looks familiar, then you’ve probably watched the fantastic Netflix special, “Nanette”, by comedian/brilliant woman Hannah Gadsby. If you haven’t, go watch it immediately {here’s a little bit of proof about the dog thing}:
More often than not, I LOVE your posts ♡.
But this stuff is absolutely nauseating.
Well I LOVE it! : )
she must be going through her “Chartreuse Period”. eye-popping!
love this work, noticed it in the netflix special–thanks for pointing me to more!
Keith Munro: “The use of fluorescent yellow and high-visibility clothing in Ross’ work symbolises colonisation and fear. Her act of depicting people in this bright clothing and placing fluorescent objects in the landscape does more, however, than simply illustrate colonisation; it also highlights and exaggerates the foreign or alien aspects of her work and its association with the landscape and the cultural and spiritual connection to place.”
ah, thank you!
