Nolan: Kelly and Horse
This painting is painted on hard composition board using Ripolin which is a high-grade enamel paint. Because Ripolin is very fast to dry he would’ve had to have drawn the outlines and had a clear idea of what he wanted so he could paint the shadows and mixing colours e.g. on the helmet with the black to green-yellow. From the painting it seems as though Nolan did the painting in layers, starting from the sky then the mountain and so forth until he reached the horse at the front.
Piccinini: Nest
Piccinini’s Nest was made from fibreglass, scooter parts, leather and painted with automotive paint. The body of the scooter was made from fibreglass that was probably melted into a cast. The wheels, handles, mirrors and leather were all probably scooter parts which she adjusted to fit in with the body of her fibreglass “animals”. To produce the casts for the fibreglass she would’ve had to draw up her idea, then make smaller models to figure out the dimensions before creating the actual size model and cast for the sculpture. After cooling and hardening she would’ve then connected the scooter parts and also paint the entire sculpture with automotive paint to create the “scooter” appearance.
