Picasa Web Albums - Jane Bennett, Artist - Cockatoo Island

Photos of paintings by Jane Bennett, Artist, 19 Jun 2010 - Cockatoo Island, Sydney, NSW Art Exhibition by Jane Bennett, Industrial Heritage Artist I first painted a series of works on Cockatoo Island in the early 1980's, when ships & submarines were still being built & repaired there, & the giant crane,Titan was lurking beside the north-west slipway. Now half the sheds & cranes (unfortunately including Titan) have gone, & Cockatoo Island has been reincarnated as a festival venue for comedy, art & music. After an absence of over 15 years, I returned to paint the island's transformation. Enquiries : janecooperbennett@gmail.com or frances@franceskeevilart.com.au

Invalid URL: "ONE hundred" - an exhibition of 100 iconic objects from the Mitchell Library's collection

Closing the Gap, 1995 Separator Striking landscape painting by Jane Bennett Closing the Gap Closing the Gap, 1995Perched near the top of the western tower of ANZAC Bridge where she painted this work, Jane Bennett has captured a commanding view east across Pyrmont towards the city. Recording the closure of the two sides of the bridge in July 1995, Bennett’s painting also documents the state of development of Pyrmont at the time, now already significantly changed. The work of Sydney artist Jane Bennett (b. 1960) focuses on the industrial, almost underbelly side of Sydney. She documents disappearing industrial heritage and working harbour sites as traditional industries decline, capturing scenes of rapidly transforming urban landscapes. Bennett began painting Pyrmont in the early 1980s and has continued to record its change and development with an increasing sense of purpose. At first isolated images, her Pyrmont work has developed into an extensive narrative sequence of the abandonment, decay, destruction and reconstruction of an inner-city suburb. The acquisition of this painting continues the Library’s tradition of collecting works of art for their documentary value. Display item Closing the Gap, 1995

"A journey into our working past" Article in "Precinct" magazine by Bill Birtles issue 1/2006 pages 17-18

“The core of this building was an 1815 military hospital,” says Tony Brassil, gesturing upwards to the high stone ceilings of the café in the National Trust building on Observatory Hill. In the lobby, a wooden colonial staircase remains in place, while in a nearby room hang paintings that tell the story of the grandeur and beauty of industrial icons famous across Sydney. Leaning in, Mr Brassil continues the tale in a tone of respect and fascination. “It was converted in the 1850’s into a school building. One room was originally a science classroom with gas burners and lab equipment. Every building and heritage site has a story to tell.” Since Tony Brassil works at the National Trust as the Conservation Officer for Industrial Heritage, he knows the stories of many of Sydney’s oldest workplaces. Recently, the 13th Annual National Trust Heritage Awards celebrated heritage works of preservation, restoration and refurbishment under the banner theme ‘Industrial Heritage: Our Working Lives’. Shipyards, construction sites and incinerators are not often noted for their cultural value, but this year they formed the basis of the recent National Trust Heritage Festival, held over three weeks around Sydney. Now in its 26th year, the festival’s theme of ‘Industrial Hertiage – Our Working Lives’ incorporated a range of events and displays that focused on industry’s contribution to New South Wales, from the sites and structures to the people who worked in them. Reflecting this theme was a series of events in inner Sydney, ranging from talks and tours to photographic and art exhibitions. The 26th National Trust Heritage Festival exposed a new appreciation of Sydney’s industrial history and those who lived and worked on the sites. Bill Birtles reports. Despite this, one of the major exhibitions of the festival shed a very different light on industrial scenery. Jane Bennett’s collection of paintings titled ‘Sydney’s Disappearing Industrial Treasures’ managed to into our working history highlight the aesthetic value of work sites around Sydney, both old and modern. With a range of works spanning 20 years, many of Sydney’s iconic and lesser-known areas were on display, including scenes of Anzac Bridge and the sites of Cockatoo Island.

Precinct issue 1/ 2006 "Artist captures city’s heritage"

I determine what gets into the history books, what is remembered,” exclaims artist Jane Bennett. Discarding her regular uniform of steel-capped boots, a hard hat and a metal cage, Jane Bennett stands dwarfed by the high walls of Sydney’s National Heritage Centre where her exhibition, Sydney’s Disappearing Industrial Treasures, has been a tremendous success. A resident of West Pymble and formally trained at Sydney’s City Art Institution, the artist is fulfilling her quest to paint Sydney’s vanishing industrial sites. To date such disappearing sites have included industrial areas at Pyrmont, Cockatoo Island, the Woolloomooloo Finger Wharf, BHP Steel Works in Newcastle and the Balmain Power Station. “My artworks are a visual history, a map of the disappeared,” Jane Bennett says. “It’s a physically demanding job and at first I was swamped by it as I was testing myself against the epic scale of the landscape itself.” Such strain is not surprising due to the open-air nature of her work. The artist has climbed chimneys, to get a good painting angle and hitched a ride to the top of the ANZAC Bridge during an electrical storm to capture an industrial landscape below. The most dangerous incident of all was when she and her 60kg easel fell out a second floor window, rendering her desolate and unconscious, in an abandoned factory in Pyrmont. Perhaps Jane Bennett’s risk - taking stems from her belief that the harder you work the luckier you get. “Hard work has meant I have created a genre for myself in the art world as an urban landscape painter,” she says. It has also led to Ms Bennett’s many major awards including her most recent, the Inaugural Sydney Harbour Week Award for Artistic Achievement. Most influential was however the Marten Bequest Traveling Scholarship awarded in 1996 which enabled her to paint in England, Scotland, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Italy and Belgium. Jane Bennett’s works can be “very moody and quite dark” says Anni Turnbull curator of ‘Paradise, Purgatory and Hellhole: A history of Pyrmont and Ultimo’, an exhibition in which a selection of Jane Bennett’s artworks can currently be seen at the Powerhouse Museum. The artist aims to impose order on chaos within her works and she achieves this through depth rather than flatness in her artworks. “Shadow can be used to physically eat away at all form, creating anxiety and doubt,” she says. Although Ms Bennett incorporates the styles of classicism, romanticism and realism, she claims to draw greatest influence from the “cult of the romantic ruin and the Claudian landscape”. Like the classical artist Pironesi, whom she much admires, her works are focused on balance, harmony and composition. Jane Bennett is convinced she is painting the end of Sydney’s industrial revolution. “People argue these old buildings are junk,” but Sydney is “getting to be a city that doesn’t produce anything”. Always a realist, she “acknowledges that capturing the vision of Pyrmont and Sydney’s other industrial areas, before they change forever, is a race against time”. Jane Bennett’s most current exhibition is on display at the Taylor Galleries. Talking fondly of gallery owner Max Taylor, the artist says he “is the closest to a mentor, he never tried to talk me out of anything.” Ms Taylor,who has exhibited Jane Bennett for 10 years, says she is “intense about her unique works and posses a lot of integrity. “I am a commentator, the repository of memory, good, bad and indifferent,” says the artist “It’s my empire. If I paint it, I own it, I own Sydney!” she says with a grin. Reporter: Harriet Gollan

Invalid URL: The Rocks - Past Speakers

Friday 20 November 2009 - Jane Bennett Sydney artist Jane Bennett, speaks about her work capturing threatened urban landscapes. The Rocks Discovery Museum is currently showing the projected exhibition History in the making: A working harbour no more featuring the work of Jane Bennett. This series of images contrasts the modern, picture-perfect destinations of The Rocks and Millers Point against the machinery of gritty, inner city industrial areas. Award-winning artist Jane Bennett is best known for her paintings of Sydney's urban landscapes. She has held 26 solo exhibitions since 1986, and has been included in many selective group exhibitions. Bennett has won more than 120 art prizes, including the Pring Prize for Watercolour in 1990, 1995 and 1996, and the Trustees' Prize for Watercolour, Wynne Prize in 1995. In 1996, Bennett received the prestigious Marten Bequest Travelling Art Scholarship and Dyason Bequest, enabling her to travel, paint and exhibit extensively throughout Europe and the US for two years. In 1997 the Trustees of the Art Gallery of NSW awarded her a residency at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris, and she received another residency at the American Academy in Rome. Renowned for her portrayal of Sydney Harbour, it was appropriate that in 2004 Bennett received the inaugural Sydney Harbour Week Award for artistic achievement. A major retrospective of Bennett's work was the signature event of the 2006 Industrial Heritage Festival of the National Trust of Australia. Bennett's work is represented in Artbank, many regional gallery and council collections, the Department of Defence, University of NSW, University of Sydney and corporate and private collections throughout Australia, the US, Europe and Asia.
