About This Work
This painting is part of series that focuses on capturing the information that is reflected from the underside of a wave. In this heiroglyphic type language of the sea, it reassembles that information from beneath and above transforming it into endless fractal like, kaleidoscopic imagery. This moment is fleeting and swimmers are unaware that they are immersed in this sea show.
About the Artist
Martine Emdur
martine.emdur.artMartine Emdur is an award-winning Australian contemporary artist whose evocative paintings have earned recognition across some of the country’s best-known art competitions. Represented by Arthouse Gallery, Martine is a two-time Archibald Prize finalist in 2001 and 2003. She was also selected for the Salon des Refusés at the SH Ervin Gallery in 2000, and has been a finalist in the Portia Geach Memorial Award and the Mosman Art Prize.

Working in fine layers of oil, Emdur paints the ocean as a place of depth, movement and quiet contemplation. Luminous rays of light, rich blues and greens, and figures suspended beneath the water’s surface invite viewers into a world of stillness and connection with nature. She has held more than 30 solo exhibitions since 1997 and exhibited widely across Australia and overseas, including in Hong Kong and the United States.
