“Camden Park” Painting by Stephen Bush Report (Assessment)

• Title: Camden Park,
• Year: 2014
• Medium: Oil and enamel on linen
• Location: Private Collection, Melbourne
• Author: Stephen Bush

Stephen Bush is famous for the series of the works, characterised by an unusual approach of mixing the emotions, real and surreal in one picture, creating some sort of the “psychedelic pictures”, which are, however, very beautiful and pretty to look at. In this picture the mixture of a quite real man and a completely surreal building, makes us think about some possible future, where this construction will be quite common. Bright palette only underlines the whimsicality of the picture. Stephen Bushs artworks have their own peculiar style and they are all connected “by their surreal sensibility”. Feelings play the most important part in the understanding of this picture. You should feel the mood of the picture, not just look at it.
