Finalist in 2021 Hazelhurst Art on Paper Award


This work was painted on heavy repurposed paper.  It depicts Sydney's National Art School where I studied for 6 years and now occasionally teach - iIt is the view from my parking spot last term.  The paper was originally prepared by my late studio partner and abandoned before completion.  Troy Quinliven was straight out of high school when I met him at art school.  He was a talented and passionate artist and, despite a physical disability that at times required him to strap his brush to his dysfunctional painting hand, was an Archibald finalist in 2014.   We were sharing a studio when he passed away suddenly at just 33 years of age.  The texture and trace history of the paper seemed to correlate to the patina of history that permeates this historical site.
