  Howard Arkley
Howard Arkley is popularly conceived as the foremost painter of Australian suburbia.
Arkley's paintings, painted sculptures and installations collapsed distinctions between abstraction and representation, and questioned certain utopian aspirations - whether it is the suburban dreams of home ownership or the functional design of modernist furniture and architecture.
The retrospective surveys Arkley's work through the developments of abstraction early in his career, the evolution of figuration and iconographic register, and the continual tension between representational and abstracted images of the landscape, the home and suburbia that fuelled his imagination and lines of sight.

Arkley believes she is the best choice of the seven candidates for mayor, in part because of her four years on the council and because she and her husband own Security National Servicing, Inc., a national loan servicing corporation headquartered in downtown Eureka, where they employ 125 people.
Arkley believes Eureka is at a fork in the road; either the city moves forward and continues to evolve and develop or it could slide backwards.
Arkley's pro-business stand has also led her to speak out against a proposed big box ordinance that she sees as protectionist.

 Howard Arkley
Following is a transcript of an interview with Howard Arkley (1951–1999), done in 1994 at his studio in Oakleigh, deep in the sprawl of suburban Melbourne.
Arkley: That would be a good position given what I've just said — that nothing's happening — but ultimately, no. I want to make visual images of significance and power that have significance to a culture.
Arkley: On some days it seems like all chance, but its not really chance, it's actually a lot of research.

Jed Arkley and Tonya Langford, proprietors of the popular White Electric Coffee shop in Providence, had hoped to enjoy a lengthy tenure at their location on Broadway, an idiosyncratic building that formerly housed an electrical business and a motor repair shop.
Arkley and Langford say Bernal initially indicated her willingness for White Electric to stay on.
Langford and Arkley, who live on the West Side, say Bernal's vision was sharply at odds with their own and that they're being forced to leave before they'll be able to recoup their initial investment.

 North Coast prosecutor in dustup with loggers / D.A. who sued Pacific Lumber faces recall effort
Arkley said he was infuriated by Gallegos' decision to file the suit, which alleges that the logging based on fraudulent data resulted in "major landslides causing destruction to ancient redwoods, serious harm to Humboldt Bay, and serious harm to streams, bridges, roads, homes and property rights of the people of Humboldt County."
Arkley said he expects Gallegos foes will file a recall petition with the county "very soon" and that he anticipates no difficulty in obtaining the signatures needed to put the issue before the voters.
Arkley says industry supporters feel the suit is utterly without merit -- and they have turned out in force to oppose it.

Preston is concerned that the heroin overdose and suburban artworks of the 1990s have come to define Arkley, stating in her introduction that "what's missing is a sense of the person behind the art, and the relationships that supported him and enabled his success".
The 1997 monograph Spray: the Works of Howard Arkley is a terrific survey of Arkley's work, containing many glossy reproductions and candid interviews but, as is perhaps natural in such a work, the biographical details are minimal and there is no sense of the 'real' man behind the art.
It is interesting to note that although almost all of Arkley's quotes in Boy were taken from Spray (with permission and support from the authors), Preston has also extensively interviewed his family and friends and it is through these priceless stories that an endearing, and troubled, man emerges.

Arkley and Lynch are used to putting sudden hushes on the noise they make.
As Arkley explains after we’ve abandoned the company of hardbound, Dewey-decimaled astronomy guides and physics lectures for some chairs near a window, “Live, most dub bands just play, and someone at the mixing board dubs them out—adds echo or drops the instruments in and out of the mix or whatever.
Which isn’t to say that Arkley or Lynch (who also plays with the Melody Unit) considers Library Science a dub band in the roots sense, despite a name that echoes the in-the-laboratory names of the early dub masters.

The Arkley was a way of recycling your rusty/damaged Spridget, as long as the damage/rust did not affect the main structural members, and was designed by John Britten in 1970 and produced at his works at Arkley in Barnet, hence the name.

Humboldt State University officials are expected to announce later this week that they have agreed to sell the property to businessman/philanthropist Arkley and his wife, a former Eureka City Council member who was narrowly defeated in her bid for mayor in November.
The $315,000 figure was not the highest offer, but was chosen because university officials believe the Arkleys are committed to restoring the historic Sweasey Theater, the third building in the complex.
They recently bought half a block at Fifth and E streets, across from their business, Security National Corp. That property was leveled last month to make way for storefronts along 5th Street and parking in the rear of the lot.

The work incorporates important early influences on Arkley, such as the work of American artists Frank Stella and Agnes Martin, through the use of pencil squares.
More pertinent than the art historical references is the interest in suburban culture for which the painter was to become very widely known and loved.
This painting is an important pre-cursor to later works in which Arkley depicted the patterns of flywire screen doors of Australian homes.
