Roy Starke: My Life in Colour
Roy Starke was born in 1954 and died in 2018 leaving behind a wealth of art quilts - powerful and rich in meaning.
His art works reflect his perspective of reality or conception of what he regarded as reality. He developed his own personal visual language in colour and composition, and placed the emphasis on design, emotional impact and content. Needle and thread became instruments for the power of ideas.
Roy drew from the tradition of embroidery, but then painted the surfaces to provide additional texture.
To him there was no right or wrong in art. It had to be authentic and the vision had to be clear.
