Artist of the Week – Fiona Maclean
Fiona Maclean is an Artist and Painter originally from NZ and living in Australia.
Fiona’s work has been described as “hauntingly beautiful and that her portraits have traces of glamour and intrigue beneath their honesty. Her subjects are intensely engaging extracting and translating fragments of secrets of the soul.”
As an Artist I’m fascinated by the fleetingness of youth, beauty and sexuality and the elusiveness of these particular elements, trying to capture those elements within my portraits and figurative work. Always curious to discover whom the subject is behind the façade, trying to get to the essence of the person, breathing and bringing to life the portrait or figure. Trying to capture their sexuality, their beauty, and who they are. Evoking an element of ‘drama’ to the subject where the viewer can ‘draw their own conclusions to what this person’s ‘story’ maybe. Working from life but mostly from photographs as reference. Often using Acrylics like a watercolour and sometimes combining acrylics and oils.
Fiona’s paintings hang in private collections and appear in International publications.

My Artist of the week, this week is ‘LONDON GRAMMAR’ check them out HERE
London Grammar’s music has been described as “a blend of ambient, ethereal and classical sounds” with melancholy guitar, soaring vocals and plaintive lyrics. Hannah Reid’s powerful, brooding vocals, prominent on all of London Grammar’s tracks released to date, are often compared to those of Judie Tzuke and Florence Welch.
London Grammar songs are a collaborative effort as Reid explains: ‘I write the lyrics and the top lines. But the songs initiate from all three of us. Dot will write a piano part or a music score. Dan will add some guitars” She describes as the songs as “emotionally affected” and “writes about people who come in and out of my life”. The song “Wasting My Young Years“, which has received over 4 million views on YouTube, was written about her ex-boyfriend.
