CONTEMPORARY ART STOCKROOM Amberrose Hulme

'Words once spoken are lost to the air. Graffiti, though less temporal, is similarly fleeting. At its creation the crisp, sweeping lines shout loudly over each other, yet as time passes the character of the buildings themselves add their voices to the crowd. As new voices are added the dialogue grows and earlier voices are silenced. With these works I seek to capture a single moment of the conversation between both the landscape and the words of many. The highly saturated areas of the image are intended to accentuate the increased volume of chatter created by the layers of graffiti on a previously quiet scene.'
Amber-Rose Hulme, 2015

After initially pursuing a career in genetics, Amber-Rose Hulme has spent the last five years devoting time to her art practice. Working predominantly with pastel on paper, she creates evokative, photo-realistic scenes of the urban and industrial everyday. The last few years have been busy ones for Hulme, being selected as a finalist in several awards including the Rick Amor Art Prize (2016) and the Stanthorpe Art Prize (2016) affirming her creative direction. She was a finalist in the Muswellbrook Art Prize (2015), the Hutchins Art Prize (2015) and the Sunshine Coast Art Prize (2015). Hulme first exhibited with FLG during our annual emerging artist exhibition, Exploration 15, and was subsequently signed on to the gallery stable. She held her first solo exhibition with the gallery in 2017. Her artwork Tranquil Neglect was acquired by the Art Gallery of Ballarat for their permanent collection in 2016.
