Easton Pearson by Monica Rohan. Oil on board.
Pamela Easton and Lydia Pearson are the fashion designers behind the celebrated label Easton Pearson.
'Vibrant, detailed patterns feature heavily in my paintings and with this one I had an eminent catalogue of textiles to draw from. I had access to their Brisbane workshop and their look-books spanning the last 27 years, so I could immerse myself in their collection. Pam and Lydia work together closely and the clothes they make reflect this personal relationship. I hope to represent something of this synthesis in their creative partnership. Through our discussions we agreed that they should be handling and interacting with the textiles. I've painted them in the midst of a swirling mass of their fabulous, bold designs', says Rohan.
Born in Beaudesert, Queensland in 1990, this is Rohan's first time in the Archibald Prize.
