Kerrie Davies
Robert Jacks is one of Australia's most well-known abstract artists. He studied sculpture and painting at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in the late 1950s. His first solo exhibition was held at Gallery A in Melbourne in 1966, and in 1968 he was included in The Field, the groundbreaking exhibition of abstraction at the National Gallery of Victoria. Although known as an abstractionist, Jacks's work has numerous figurative references, particularly to musical instruments, reflecting his passionate interest in jazz.

Inspired by the bulls of Mudgee and Lennox Head, and by the writing of Ernest (Death in the Afternoon) Hemingway, the artist Angus McDonald is fascinated by bulls. His new collection of wistful and sturdy bulls will surround the directors, management and sponsors of the Sydney Easter Show as they lunch next Thursday at Tim Olsen's Woollahra art gallery, two days after the opening there of McDonald's exhibition, 'Snort!!'.

Artist John Olsen turns his attention from the outback to the beach in his latest works.
On the eve of his 80th birthday, John Olsen sparkles with excitement as he
reveals he has been realising some new paintings. “I’m in love again,” he says, referring to two vast canvases he’s been working on in his studio over the last three months. They evoke, he says, “memories of being brought up at Bondi and around the harbour. There is such a kind of myth
in Australia of being born under the sun.”

The record-setting John Olsen is still painting with the excitement of a child in awe of Sydney Harbour, writes Lyndall Crisp.
An American collector who'd never heard of John Olsen and had seen only
an image of his work in an email attachment has paid a record price for
a painting sold through an Australian commercial gallery. The prominent Washington art lover, acting on advise from an agent,
paid $750,000 for 'Spring Tide', a 200 x 400cm oil on board by Olsen.

The idea came from Barry Pearce, head curator of Australian art,
who has prepared the gallery's big summer exhibition, Sidney
Nolan: A New Retrospective, which opens on November 2. Pearce's
starting point was Nolan's fascination with the 19th century French
poet Arthur Rimbaud.

The intensity that Tomescu cultivates is neither an option nor an
ambition for many other painters. The two artists showing at the Tim
Olsen Gallery take a much cooler approach. Marie Hagerty is a painter
of elegant abstract canvases that embrace qualities of design Tomescu
rejects out-of-hand.

OPEN SPACE - For just over twelve years, Tim Olsen, has gathered some
of this country's most exciting artistic talent in his iconic
Paddington gallery. Following on from this success, Olsen has created a
stunning new dual-level gallery in Woollhra.
"I want this to be a place of positivity...that the art we maintain
here elevates the level of beauty," Olsen says. The first artist to
show in the new gallery was Guy Maestri, one of Olsen's youngest
starts. "Guy's work has a vigour and an exuberance, being able to work
in an abstract figurative way".

Artist Jo Bertini has become a passionate advoctae for the conservation
and understanding of Australia's interior. Her wild, dark curls,
arresting green eyes and sun-kissed complexion belie the city setting
in which we meet. Even in her suburban home, Bertini seems like someone
who is most comfortable sleeping under the stars in a swag. Her shoes
come off within five minutes and conversation swings from her immediate
surroundings to her love of the desert.

Federico Herrero
The question that is ultimately of interest to me is how to represent
something, not what to represent. This is the focus of my work. A
constant throughout the years has been a refusal to blend color or
tone, to avoid what some people call "brushing out". In my work there
has always been a distinct separation between unmoldulated color fields.

John Olsen is used to being treated like a star, but even he was
surprised at the reaction when he won the 2005 Archibald prize with his
Self-portrait, Janus faced. "I felt impaled
by it," he says. "For three months it was impossible to walk the
streets of Sydney or Bowral without being congratulated by very nice
people. I was always being asked for interviews.
