Wild4Art

THE CONCEPT

 

4 ARTISTS

 4 MEDIUMS

4 INDIVIDUAL STYLES

  4 PASSIONATE WILDLIFE LOVERS.

 

Wild 4 Art is a concept which four artists: Vida Pearson, Darren Gilbert, Janet Matthews & Rodger Scott, had been mulling over individually before it became a topic of conversation over coffee one day.  These 4 professional artists had been working and exhibiting together with the Wildlife Art Society of Australasia and found they had many ideas, plans and ethics in common, thus inspiring them to officially form an exhibition group. Hence the birth of Wild4Art in 2009.

 

On many levels the four artists work well both as a team and as an exhibition group.  All share a passion for wildlife subjects and an intense love of art.  Each has attained a high level of skill, is well respected in the art world and is motivated and keen to create exhibition opportunities. The fact that they work in different mediums and have very individual styles allows them to work harmoniously together and all enjoy each other’s company, endeavouring to support and encourage each other to grow and develop.

 

Wild 4 Art reflects very well the group’s united love of art and wildlife, all enriched with a good dose of ‘fun’.

Rodger Scott - Painting

Rodger Scott has always held great admiration for Australian animals and birds, so it was only natural that, when he started painting his preferred subject matter was native wildlife.  Rodger’s artworks are painted in watercolour and gouache (opaque watercolour), which allows a freedom of technique that transparent watercolour alone wouldn't give.

Janet Matthews – Colour Pencil and Graphite

 

Janet Matthew’s individual style of combining coloured pencil and graphite has been described as "weaving magic with pencil".  Her realistic, detailed and gentle drawings are always of a high standard and reflect her own personality, humour and life experiences.  Her drawings of animals and birds are full of personality and continue to win prizes and awards, including commissions by Australia Post for stamp images released in 2006 and 2009.
