Biography of Jennifer Caldwell

 

Jennifer Gailey Caldwell was born in West Wyalong, in
rural Australia, on 4 May 1973.  While growing up in remote and isolated
parts of New South Wales and Tasmania, Caldwell developed a passion for art
from a very young age.  

 

After leaving high school, she commenced a Bachelor of
Fine Arts with the University of Tasmania School of Arts, in Hobart.  She
moved to Sydney after completing her degree in 1995 and began exhibiting
paintings and drawings in solo and group shows in Sydney and throughout
Australia, and commenced exhibiting internationally through her participation
in 2005 at the Biennale Internazionale dell’art Contempoaranea, Firenze Italia.
 

 

Jennifer Caldwell is an eclectic artist, who uses
multiple media to create her artwork.  The subject matter can be very
introspective and personal but also aims to address social topics, with a
particular interest in issues relating to contemporary Australia.  

 

Caldwell studies her subject matter, whether it is a
region of land or a social philosophy, and responds to her findings visually,
through her art making.  Her artworks allows for contemplation, reflection
and questions and are intended to provoke the viewer’s own perspective or
theory.

 

Caldwell exhibits with commercial galleries,
contemporary artist-runs galleries and public galleries in Australia and
internationally. Her commissioned works include a mural for Amnesty
International.

 

Jennifer
Caldwell currently resides in Sydney, Australia.

Statement...

My artwork is inspired by the cool climate lands of
Tasmania through to inner cityscapes. My work focuses on contemporary
Australian issues, and through this I extend my own visual philosophies
relating to the way in which humans move and react with their environment.
 

 

Through growing up on large properties, initially in
central NSW and then in Tasmania, I experienced a childhood which was
intrinsically linked to life in remote and isolated areas of the country.
 Living on a farm is about life and death, the cycles of seasons, plants
and animals, floods, droughts, soil erosion, careful planning and hard physical
work.  

 

In these figurative landscapes I explore ways of
seeing the cool climate environment, incorporating human migration and
signature attributes of these places, investigating aspects of isolation, the
weather, resources and industry, and the wilderness. The forms found within the
work depict the contrast between the elements of the human made and organic or
natural forms, including the natural human form.  The parody lies within
the fact that many of the man-made objects, the farm machines and earth movers,
are instrumental in changing the landscape from its natural state, as if
working as human prosthetics to create new landscapes.

 

The media of painting and drawing allows me to record
my fond and warm childhood memories with sentiment and sincerity, whilst I make
reference to the genres of Dada and Pop Art with stenciled or printed tractors,
bulldozers and other earth movers, emphasising the irony of the aesthetic
appeal of lands shaped and altered by machinery.

 

I see the work mapping a hypothetical, yet plausible
history through the presence of spectral figures moving across the land,
signifying the passage of humans through the environment, leaving layers of
markings, objects and spirits, against a machine-worked landscape with the
place of nature weaving between these layers.

 

My
digital imagery documents city space in which I now live. To me these are
altered environments haunted by the indigenous flora and fauna, which have been
forcibly removed by a changed ecosystem of introduced species, concrete
surfaces and products of human consumption and waste.  Cities are
disconnected with nature, causing us to forget about and undermine the
importance of living with our environment and our world.  Our approach is too much about what we
can take from nature to ‘improve’ our lives, rather than how we need to live with
our environment, and this has to change.

 

‘Square
Story’ a conceptual animated film was created in response to the devastating
affect the invasion of Western culture and politics has had on the Indigenous
people in Australia. The compulsive way in which dominant societies demand
compliance and assimilation with their systems has been destructive to so many
Indigenous cultures and their land globally.

 

I
enjoy using a range of media in my art practice as I feel the media I choose to
use suits what I am portraying.  To
me painting is more spiritual, photography documents and animation narrates.
