This well presented exhibition reveals how the artist has developed further, and grown stronger, in her own style. It's not that there ever was any sense of reticence in her previous work, rather it's a case of this exhibition having a certain sense of resolve. Bec Juniper has found her own place and is happily working in it.

In her statement, the artist reveals the inspiration for these works came from driving through and flying over the Pilbara and East Kimberly regions, spending time in Aboriginal communities, and exploring the surrounding areas of Fremantle and Perth. One can immediately define which paintings were inspired by these very different landscapes and experiences. The burbs are drawn with hard edged, rectilinear shapes on cement grey ground, as noted in Power-Haus and North Mole. Meanwhile the out-back is expressed by organic shapes in earth colours and rich black. Both environments are depicted from an aerial viewpoint which enhances the idea of an 'artist as observer' approach.

To be honest I'm a suburbanite, born and raised, one who experiences a twinge of agoraphobia if there are too many miles between me and the mall. Still, I do appreciate aerial images of this vast island continent, especially those that suggest a fusion of earth, air and water along with a reference to human presence. This is where Juniper's images hooked me. Many of the larger works involve a collection of swirls, spots and splashes of colour that give the impression we're looking down at the Earth from outer space while others suggest we are looking up at some distant nebula forming it's own new world. Then there are the aerial views that appear to be closer to the ground as they host one or more perfectly straight lines, suggesting roads running through the free flowing pigments.

Juniper combines the strong colours of red and black together very well to create a sense of mystery and majesty in her work. Great Sandy Fire illustrates the point beautifully as each time it was viewed, the painting had something new to offer the imagination. The same can be said about Satellite Series - 4 where each canvas hosts waves of red and yellow earth ochre and black, to create a sense of different stages of evolving. Each panel is satisfying and can stand alone, together they make an impressive visual experience.

From above the South Mole Tide to the Murchison, Bec Juniper has show us the micro and macrocosm of this great state, with style and confidence. It's an exhibition that may be viewed more then once to best explore each work.
