Collis, Andy2023-11-012023-11-012014-12-012015-01-04<p>Collis, A. (2014). <em>45s sleeves/labels</em> [Gouache on canvas]. Art Studios Co-operative, North Gosford, Australia.</p>https://research.avondale.edu.au/handle/123456789/06497414<p>The small works art prize at the Gosford Art Studios stipulates works must be<br />200mm x 200mm. The size of the canvas suggested to me that of old vinyl 45<br />rpm. Records. I recollected with nostalgia and detail, the aesthetic and<br />emotion associated with such discs of my youth. I produced two gouache on<br />canvas images. One which shows snippets of the cheap paper sleeves in<br />which 45s were packages – the logos and colours of the labels,; the second<br />shows snippets of the actual labels themselves. To anyone who lived through<br />the period (50s,60s in particular) and remembers these things with great<br />affection, the snippets are clues and triggers, a cue to the true ‘fan’, the tip-of the<br />iceberg of many fond stories from youth.<br />The two images trigger these emotions.</p>en-us<p>Used by permission: the artist</p>Small Works Art PrizeArt Studios Co-operativeGosfordAndy CollisGouache on CanvasCreative Work
