Statement
Gayle Reichelt is an Australian Artist who is passionate about colour and texture. Born in Yarram in South Gippsland, Victoria, and having lived in various places in Victoria, NSW, and Queensland, Gayle is now living and working in the Gold Coast.
Gayle’s artwork has progressed through many stages throughout 40+ years of her art career. Always a drawer since childhood, she began her painting career around 1979 – 1980 whilst living in Deniliquin in NSW, learning her skills by attending workshops by various other artists and applying what she had learnt in her studio.
In 1992, she attended LaTrobe University Bendigo as a mature age student and obtained a BA Hons (Fine Art), and a Graduate Diploma of Education (Secondary). University broadened her outlook considerably and encouraged her to be more experimental and contemporary in her approach to her artwork. She has experimented in Realist, Surreal, and Abstract Art, and has used multiple mediums.
Current Art Direction:
Having survived cancer in August 2019, Gayle now produces artworks mainly in Oil, Watercolour and Charcoal.
A recurring theme has been of reviewing the fate of abandoned human manufactured constructs in the natural environment. In February/March 2016, Gayle was featured in a solo exhibition in the Arts Centre, Gold Coast City Gallery called “The Last Fleet” which focused on weathered shipwrecks.
Old and abandoned houses and sheds is also a strong interest and is the focus of her current works. Portraits and Landscape is also a strong interest.
