Author: ArtemisiabandJOHN MCDONALD takes an admiring glance at the Corotesque landscapes of Michelle Hiscock.
Michelle Hiscock went through her experimental phase while still a student at Canberra School of Arts. As part of a semi-legendary course taught by Petr Herel, called ‘Graphic Investigation’, she sampled all manner of techniques and undertook a succession of conceptual projects. No one would have suspected that almost eighteen years later she would be painting small landscapes in a classical tradition heavily indebted to Claude Lorrain.
