“The way light falls on things is what really gets me going,” says Roland. “Even in the man made environment the way light falls has a beautiful ease about it. Light never makes things look hard and sharp, shadows seem to fall softly and elucidate forms; their beauty emerges.”
“Showing my art is as important as the stretcher or the easel. There is no use hiding it under my bed.
When I show my work to people it makes it better, regardless of whether they like it or not. Their perspective lets me view what I create differently. Art has become so much a part of my life; if I haven’t painted or sculpted for a while I feel unwell.”
Roland paints from life in
a single session. His abstract works show the influence of European and
American modernist artists and attempt new directions through the use
of colour and spatial order.
Roland Weight studied art at Kingston CAE, North Adelaide School of
Art and Sydney College of the Arts. After gaining experience creating and exhibiting sculpture he began running art workshops in painting, drawing and sculpture. He has recently been working on a series of community art projects and public sculptures in South Australia.
Roland's art practice is diverse and includes sculpture, realist and abstract painting, drawing, collage, community art and teaching. He has received many awards and prizes and exhibits in Adelaide as well as interstate.
