| Patrick is an exuberant, intuitive artist who has been painting and exhibiting for over 30 years. His work is forceful, supported by fine draughtsmanship and traditional painting techniques. He has a love of the landscape, the bush, the hills and the city. This basic landscape as narrative is balanced by his expressive execution and used as a platform to play out the act of painting. His bold and vibrant painting style is infused with personality and has a bravado and defiance that reflects his drive and dedication. Patrick's thorough enjoyment of painting is evident through the essence and grandeur reflected in his confident brushstrokes and dramatic colours. |
| Tim Storrier remains the youngest artist to win the coveted Sulman Prize at the AGNSW which he did at the age of 19. Storrier and his 'Burning Rope' have become one of the most recognised artists and images in the history of Australian art. The Australian environment has loomed large in the development and inspiration of his work - the context for his imaginative reconstructions; the arid countryside; the feelings of isolation and mental space engendered in these places. He uses the landscape as a metaphor for personal and universal human experiences and emotions. Time Storrier's combination of great techniques finesse with his sense of theatricality and the creation of illusory worlds has cemented him as one of Australia's finest and most famous artists and his work as some of the most collectable. |
