Exhibition Rome – The Golden Ration Art Exhibition

September 1, 2021 by lorenz Leave a Comment

The Art Exhibitions in Rome is proud to present on September 25th 2021, The Golden Ration Art Exhibition.

Curated by talented Eileen Contreras and hosted at the Palazzo Ruspoli the exhibition is going to offer people a wide range of tantilising art works and experiences.

Eileen has a strong passion for art and driving artists to new zones.

The history behind the Palazzo Ruspoli is amazing and is considered one of the “four marvels” of Rome. This six hundred year old palace was once home to the exiled Napoleon III.

The architecture in the palace is stunning and uplifting. My humble piece should compliment the walls nicely.

This is my piece.

Witheren

The 16th d’Arcy Doyle Art Awards and Exhibition is on in Mudgeeraba 23rd June – 4th July and is set to draw through thousands of people.

The Landscape Art Awards were established to honour artist d’Arcy Doyle who passed away in 2001.

Committed to sport and renown for his murals, d’Arcy is a famous Australian artist who’s works included The Cricket Game, Hockey Players and Taking it Serious. All depicting typical and “quintessential” Aussie back yard sport which is the back bone of all Australian sport today.

The Cricket Game d’Arcy Doyle

After a successful life as an artist in Sydney, d’Arcy and his wife moved Mudgeeraba in the 1970s calling the Gold Coast home.

The annual exhibition is considered one of Australia’s premier art awards with the main landscape category offering a $10,000 first prize is supported by emerging artists, professional artists and those wanting a challenge. Other categories include Portraiture and Still Life.

Judges this year include Anthea Polson, Joel Rea and Sam Cretyon. All established and well revered for their contributions to Australian art. More on the judges here.

Selected artists, including the author of this piece, Samantha Beau, will be holding residencies over the 12 days. A residency gives the artist an opportunity to show case their works, talk with people and demonstrate their techniques. Sam’s residency is 130pm – 5pm on Saturday 3rd July. Be sure to pop by and say hello and watch Sam in action.

With over 500 works hung every year and $20,000 in the prize pool, this is an art show to explore and enjoy.

Opens 23rd June and finishes 4th July.

Luxury Whitsunday Resort Hangs Samantha Beau Originals

June 3, 2021 by lorenz Leave a Comment

As an artist you always want that “BIG” gig, the one that gives you world class exposure and traffic.

My opportunity came 18 months ago when I was asked to paint two pieces for the refurbishing of luxury hotel, Coral Sea Resort in Airlie Beach, gateway to Australia’s premier islands, The Whitsunday Islands.

The brief was for two pieces, both using charcoals and subdued tones, a particular red and reflecting the reef.

Obviously the less ambiguous the better however this request did through me for a brief moment.

I presented a few concepts trying to artistically capture what was within the interior designers mind.

Finally we got there. Two large abstract pieces, flowing in nature, indicative of the Great Barrier Reef with it’s channels and bright flecks of iridescent blue.

The resort is amazing fringed along the foreshore leading from the main port to the Coral Sea Marina.

The Rocks is a pool bar that offers music with the setting sun, a cracking wine list and bar style food. I recommend staying at the resort but if you can’t stop by for a Sunday session and watch the sun go down after exploring my art works.

The first of Mystics are in the board room and the second you will find on the second floor by the lift.

I have a third piece in the hotel and my favourite by far.

I painted it to reflect the reef and water and was my submission for the 2019 Luxembourg Art Awards.

You will find this beauty in suite 201 which is a grand room with views over the Coral Sea, islands, pool and with it’s own gallery.

The resort is uplifting and the spa rooms amazing. I highly recommend staying and exploring the region and my art works.

NFTs – My next move and why

May 10, 2021 by lorenz Leave a Comment

This is an invitation to be involved with a very exciting project – a fundraising Non Fungible Token NFT event!

As the world adjusts to VOID-19 the rest of us “planet and art” makers are adjusting to NFTs, Blockchains and how to create art for this space.

My preferences for “art mediums” have been oils due to their vibrant colours, acrylics for their dancing like qualities and fast drying and pastels for their stunning simplicity and complexity. And now as I daydream out to sea I want to add digital art as my next challenge and medium.

I mean… why not?

My street chalks are very much along the lines of Banksy and Lushsux works.

I get the sense of “living on the edge” when I draw them.

I love the depth and forgiving nature that chalks offer me.

I love the access to foot traffic and being able to make a big impact in the media.

So sliding into NFTs for my street chalks makes sense.

Gold Coast Bulletin 2019

Many of the projects I have done have been community minded, raising awareness and engagement from passer-bys and those seeing my art in the media and on the news.

I have a few ideas brewing in my soul at the moment. One centred around two organisations that I have volunteered for involving the hump back whale and koala.

If you have any interest in this space, I invite you to join in my journey as I discover more about NFTs, blockchains and tokens.

If you are interested in investing in my first NFT please reach out now. Send me an email.

Otherwise join my insta page and I will post my progress there.

Sam 🙂
