Larapuna XI (Bay of Fires) is part of a series of abstract oil paintings created after extended time in Tasmania. A palette grounded in umber, ochre, sienna, clay, charcoal grey and muted olive—colours that evoke soil, stone, bark, and weathered landscapes. These earth tones create a visual language that is both grounded and atmospheric.
The work does not depict a literal landscape; rather, it suggests terrains—emotional, geological, and psychological. Surfaces are built up with thick impasto in some areas and dry lines in others, revealing traces of process and time, the enduring and the fragility. Gestural marks interact with quiet passages of negative space, inviting the viewer into a contemplative encounter
Artist Bio: Using predominantly warm, earthy tones, Anne-Rita creates rich, organic works that capture a sense of depth and calm while exploring the tension between dualities such as enduring and fragility.
Largely self-taught, Anne-Rita has benefited from the generosity of many artists.
Currently a resident artist at 106 Art: Studios and Gallery in St Kilda, Anne-Rita’s original works have been acquired by collectors and designers across Australia.
