Nadine Hobson
Nadine Hobson is a Melbourne based artist, a lifelong creative and self confessed perpetual daydreamer. Drawing inspiration from the beautiful, diverse beauty of the Australian landscape, including the Dandenong Ranges where she grew up, Nadine creates textured abstracts that reflect nature’s colour palettes, while also reflecting an otherworldly, dreamlike quality, and as such, fondly refers to her paintings as ‘dreamscapes’. Works are created from a deeply emotional connection to country and place, conveying mood, emotion and a tangible representation of an experience in nature.
Further layered into each piece is inspiration derived from music. Every artwork is named for a particularly meaningful song or lyric that wends its way through the creative process, and ultimately coincides with the overall mood of the finished work. For Nadine, art is intrinsically linked to a love of music and this adds an additional dimension to her practice and completed works.
Emotive and immersive, Nadine works in a highly intuitive way and generally without a fixed idea of exactly what the finished artwork might necessarily be. Instead, the focus is on channelling those lived experiences and feelings, and allowing the flow state to guide the process. This creative spontaneity allows exploration and experimentation, imbuing the works with a sense of movement and fluidity. There are many tiny details to discover within each piece. This is a result of applying many layers of texture, paint and ink which gives great depth and complexity to the finished works.

A deep green blurred background bisected by a solid gold line and a splash of rusty red. This statement artwork, created on a timber panel, invites you to look closer and determine what you could be viewing. Sometimes appearing to be a fleeting forest view at night from the perspective of a moving car, blurring all the scenery as you move past. Other times it appears to be trees over water with the embers of a dying campfire in the distance. It’s completely in the eye of the beholder, but there is a definite feeling of movement and gentle motion in amongst the calm. A hint of the timber grain peeks through depending on the light, changing the composition into something earthy and magical. Part of a new series exploring the merging of form and fluidity.
