Adriane Strampp (b.1960)
The Garden 2007
Born
USA 1960, educated UK and later Australia (BA Fine Art), lives in
Australia and travels regularly to Italy. During the last 20 years Strampp's work has been based on The
Dress; beginning with wedding dresses, and later moving on to 16th
and 17th century costume. Typically these large canvases were of
a single dress standing alone in dark gardens, or moody interiors,
always with the body 'in absentia'. They were haunting
and evocative, the dresses although 'empty' had a strong
sense of their owners presence. Strampp's new work concerns old images, in a new and intimate light.
Strampp has taken favourite dresses and re-worked selected details
to fill the entire canvas. Fragments of a dress, and portraits of
the young women who once wore them. Many have been drawn from Renaissance
artists such as Bronzino. The garden too, is viewed more closely,
but as with the dress, the whole story is never told.
