Acrylic on canvas

Framed in black Tasmanian oak
KEEP explores architecture as both structure and sanctuary. Monumental arches, intersecting planes and passages are held in a restrained palette of deep navy, olive, ochre and warm ivory, creating a composition that feels at once grounded and expansive. A study in permanence, shelter and the quiet gravity of place.
Artist | Founder of Composed Abstraction™
Joanna Wolthuizen is an Australian artist and founder of Composed Abstraction™, a contemporary painting practice informed by architecture, memory and place.
Her paintings are developed as measured environments where proportion, tonal restraint and rhythm create a quiet architectural presence.
Through Composed Abstraction™, painting is considered not simply as image, but as a vessel for memory - preserving meaning as experience softens and shifts over time.
Fragments of landscape, structure and atmosphere emerge and dissolve, inviting contemplation of the emotional landscapes we continue to inhabit through memory, longing and reverie.
Works are held in private collections across Australia, Europe and Asia.
Melbourne-based collectors are invited to experience selected works in situ, within their own space. This complimentary service allows each work to be considered in context - proportion, light, and architectural presence - before acquisition.
