A moment of Beauty: An Archive Of Intimate Engagements CHLOE VALLLANCE Master of Fine Art by Research RMIT University April 2014 Declaration I certify that except where due acknowledgement has been made, the work is that of the author alone; the work has not been submitted previously, in whole or in part, to qualify for any academic award; the content of the thesis is the result of work which has been carried out since the commencement date of the approved research program; and; any editorial work, paid or unpaid, carried out by a third party is acknowledged; ethics procedures and guidelines have been followed Signature: Name: Chloe Vallance Date: 22 / 08 / 2014 Summary This document is an Appropriate Durable Record (ADR) of my Masters of Fine Art research project, titled, A moment of beauty: An Archive of Intimate Engagements The ADR contains photographic documentation of my artwork produced through this investigation along with a written reflective process – outlining the objectives of the research, identifying research questions, describing how the artworks were created and evaluated The central focus of this research is studio based painting and drawing The intention of the artwork is to locate beauty ‘in a moment’ In the text beauty as a subjective experience will be discussed in four pathways of inquiry, titled, ‘In A Sense’, ‘Inner Sense’, ‘In Essence’, and ‘In Experience’ The intended exhibition of this project will show an archive of artwork and by association intimate engagements that seek to locate beauty within a moment When I say ‘archive’ I am referring to my artwork as a document and a cultural repository, amorphous in shape that is actually a site of discourse, understood to be in a constant state of evolution This research has a two–fold objective Firstly, to consider how the qualities of beauty in contemporary painting and drawing might relate or differ from my artwork I will describe the artwork of Peter Doig, Marlene Dumas, Friedrich Kunath and Elizabeth Peyton in relation and contrast to my artwork And secondly, I aim to reveal that a transformative experience in art is equivalent to a moment of beauty, investigated through the subject matter of people engaging in a focused creative and playful activity understood through my own experience of painting ‘in the moment’ When I say a transformative experience I am describing the moment a shift in focus occurs in which a person feels a complete involvement with the ‘flow’ of life It is not a transcendent experience, because my subjects are not going outside or beyond the activity they are performing, they are fully immersed and deeply connected with where they are and what they are doing I will discuss my studio practice and research methodology by describing my own ‘transformative’ experience making artwork induced by painting and drawing my subjects in a moment of beauty In the conclusion my project ends in an opening, with the artwork - similar to the nature of beauty – able to flow it’s own way Table of Contents Declaration Summary Table of Figures List of Works Acknowledgements 11 Research Questions 12 Locating Beauty 12 In a Sense 14 Inner Sense 15 In Essence 16 In Experience 18 Contemporary Context Peter Doig 20 Marlene Dumus 21 Friedrich Kunath 22 Elizabeth Peyton 23 Methodology and Studio Practice 25 Reflections and Summation of Project 33 Documentation of Artwork 35 Curriculum Vitae 83 Annotated Bibliography 84 Bibliography 86 Table of Figures Figure 1: Alchemy Of A Sunflower, 2013, watercolour, ink and gouache on paper 19 Figure 2: Journal Drawing of Henrik Jenson, Jazz Bassist, June 2013, Vortex, Dalston London 18 Figure 3: Studio Painting, July 2013 25 Figure 4: Will Butterworth, Jazz Pianist, 2013, Arch Duke Jazz Club, Waterloo, London 26 Figure 5: Ask Me Anything, 2013, watercolour, ink and gouache on paper, 55.5 x 38cm 26 Figure 6: Studio work, August 2013 27 Figure 7: Sophie’s World Firefly, 2013, watercolour, ink and gouache on paper, 55.5 x 38cm 27 Figure 8: Painting the Bonfire Band, December 2012, The Auld Sheilaugh, Stoke Newington, London 28 Figure 9: Studio Space, August 2013 29 Figure 10: A Space For A Moment, 2013, watercolour, ink and gouache on paper 30 Figure 11: Painting Oliver Talkes, Vintage Emporium, Brick Lane London 30 Figure 12: Journal Painting, November 2012 31 Figure 13: A Farewell To Arms, 2013, watercolour, ink and gouache on paper 31 Figure 14: The Old Man And The Sea, 2013, watercolour, ink and gouache on paper 32 Figure 15: In the end only kindness matters, 2013, watercolour, ink and gouache on paper 34 Archive of Work 1_One Dress, 2012 watercolour, ink, gouache, and colour pencil on paper, 30 x 60cm 35 2_Unfold, 2012 watercolour, ink, gouache, and colour pencil on paper, 30 x 60cm 36 3_Buoyancy: to be held by the ocean, 2012 watercolour, ink, gouache, and colour pencil on paper, 38 x 55.5cm 36 4_Type Write, 2012 watercolour, ink, gouache, and colour pencil on paper, 38 x 55.5cm 37 5_Pass it along;
