DONNA KARAN

Ever since stumbling across her home while looking for images of Francis Bacon, Donna Karan’s Manhattan apartment has always been a favourite of mine.


The use of large scale art and the simplicity of the furniture selected throughout the rooms have always drawn me towards this style icon’s way of decorating.

Her use of bold natural items such as wood stone & marble has not only given this home a casual elegant look, yet a sophisticated lived in feel.

My favourite item in the entire house though has to be the Francis Bacon painting that she bought for her husband.

"I paint the poetry of everyday things. I admire the bright landscapes of my home in California, and strive to feel them in oil.

I think a work of art should be a feast for the eyes, and that intellectual or theoretical qualities are secondary.
I think a painting should look good when you put it on the wall.

Using old master techniques, I try to work at the crossroads of the Barbizon school and British Postwar Realism. "

JOE SCOPPA

Joe has been painting on and off for over 30 years, and has completed a Master of Studio Arts degree at Sydney College of the Arts, University of Sydney.

Joe's interests are in appropriation, spirituality, and the use of language as image in art, hence his use of magazine and newspaper as a starting point in much of his work.

Essentially Joe's technique is to begin with a printed image as a starting point, and then let his imagination take over, so that the finished artwork rarely has any resemblance to what is beneath the painting, although more frequently theses days Joe will leave some of the original text or imagery to show through and become part of the finished work. While Joe prefers painting people, he also enjoy's still life and abstract.

Joe prefers thickly textured oil paint, but will also occasionally use other media. Joe's also interested in printing techniques, and has recently returned to drawing.
