Becky Blair’s artwork has joie de vie that mirrors her on going love affair with travel and observing people on holiday. Travel holds many memories and as humans we return to these experiences time and again and we dream of them. Becky Blair aspires to create imagery that has strength but is equally fleeting and momentary. Her work presents an exploration of colour, texture, and composition to render physical aspects of life that are intangible. Her artwork is a celebration of these intangible moments, evolving through a complex layering of glazes, texture, drawing, printing, and painting. They lead you through her obsession with colour toward memories of where you might have been or are yet to go. Becky Blair draws her inspiration from her eclectic experience’s; Mediterranean holidays in the 80s, India on motorbike in the 90s, Italy in summer, travelling across Australia in a van and sleeping under the stars. They stir the viewer to remember their own adventures, reminding us of the romance and mystery of being elsewhere, and the longing of wanderlust.
