Reflections

This is one of my early works. It has been hanging in my living room for over three years. It was painted back when I was mainly painting in acrylic and shows the style starting to come out which would be begin to develop in my later paintings. I am now ready to let go and put it up for sale. I trust it will go to a good home.


Cheers, Robi

A brief Bio

"Like most white collar middle class families growing up in Australia in the 60’s, we had the standard faded Albert Namatjira print hanging in the dining room. We were lucky in that we had not one but two. I remember thinking to myself, “I just don’t get it, what’s all the fuss”. Many years later I was browsing through a small highly priced gallery in Sydney and there sitting on the floor in the corner, something amazing caught my eye. It was an original Namatjira and it was stunning. I finally got what the fuss was all about! I had never seen the bush in such beautiful and depth of colour. I look at this as the start of my love of art.
I have been painting now for nearly 4 years and have been fortunate to have several exhibitions of my work on the Gold Coast and Brisbane.
I only use oils, as this gives me more freedom to move the paint around and allow the work to give hints on what it wants next.
Although I have a rough idea of what the work will look like when finished, the truth is that through the process of painting it always ends up taking on a life of its own.
I am not a figurative artist. Nor do I try to be. But rather I like to distort the figures, change around the colours and let the work breathe."
I hope you enjoy this work. Cheers, Robi
