Land of smoke

Abstract

Paintings of place, embodiment and impermanence from one of Australia's finest painters. The images are elusive, but express themselves through space, light, birds, atmosphere, clouds, smoke and sting rays. The intention is to reveal the power of seeing something for the first time. Inspiration is drawn from a painterly concept and process employed by the artist Leonardo da Vinci known as sfumato – derived from the Italian word ‘fumo’ meaning smoke. Images are conjured through thin glazed layers, have no borders or precise definition, rather they appear obscured and airy.
