Australian Women ArtistsThe PodcastEp. 21 June TupicoffJune Tupicoff has been described as "one of Australia’s very best artists” and "the great Australian painter you’ve probably never heard of".June is a Brisbane based artist whose work focuses on an inherent interest in the Australian landscape.She actually grew up in the lush, rural environment of Victoria, and, I dare say as a direct result, developed an early sensitivity to the Australian landscape—a theme that evolved and matured with her move to Qld. By the 1970s, she had begun to establish herself as an artist, initially working primarily in abstraction. Eventually her artistic focus began to shift from pure abstraction to a more overt engagement with the Australian landscape in particular the unique ecosystems of coastal south-east Queensland and north-eastern New South Wales. Her paintings and pastel drawings are notable for their sensitive rendering of light, colour, and form, and her work has been described as demonstrating, ‘a deepening commitment to environmental observation and a nuanced understanding of place.’Head to the link in my bio to hear about 'the great Australian painter you’ve probably never have heard of’.
