Collection: Gayle Stockley Exhibition Artworks

Not Quite Square by Gayle Stockley is an exhibition of non-objective, minimalist, geometric oil paintings and linear sculptures constructed with stretcher framing. Gayle’s style evolved following a seven-year period making relief sculpture using bushfire blackened casuarina. The simple, linear, geometric composition of these sculptures then transferred to painting. Using oil paint, palette knife and collaged canvas-on-canvas Gayle often layers colours such as red under green creating a lively ‘almost black’. Paintings are executed such that the marks of the maker are clearly visible. The aesthetics of colour, line and form are played off in positive and negative shapes to form the subject matter of her work.
