Jemma Calavassy

An emerging Australian artist, Jemma Calavassy is on a journey of rediscovering the simplicity of life by creating imperfect perfection through abstract and figurative pieces that speak to observers of a much lighter, brighter and more playful existence. Stemming from the desire to bring some happiness to the observer, the work represents fluid meditations devoid of any rigidity and control. Experimenting with different mediums, acrylic paint, watercolour and pencil through her use of bright colours, blues and turquoises in particular, she manages to let go of all the forms, clears a busy mind and transfers a unique perspective onto stretched canvas and paper. The result is a collection of abstract pieces that allow the observer to experience the peace and tranquility, the same emotions, which led the artist’s paintbrush while in the very process of creation. Jemma’s studio is based 120 km north of Sydney Australia, on the pristine Lake Macquarie. Imperfect perfection is woven into Jemma’s art and designed to bring a little brightness to any room.
