Artwork Description

A dystopian landscape‚ dominated by two huge machines‚ based on the 'Bagger 228'‚ a gigantic excavator used in mining. These enormous vehicles loom above a locomotive and tiny figures‚ workers in a bleak landscape.

This painting is in no way meant to be ideological‚ for or against mining and industry. I was impressed by these machines simply for their size and structure‚ and have created a scene around them. The feel of the painting is slightly 'steampunk' or sci-fi.

The painting is executed in sepia tones.

Artist Bio

Painter from the Blue Mountains. I've had paintings in the Sulman Prize 2012‚ Mosman Prize 2012‚ Calleen Art Prize 2013‚ Gallipoli Art Prize 2014 & 2016, Gosford Art Prize 2018 & 2018, the ANL Maritime Art Prize 2018 and the 2019 Hawkesbury Art Prize (winner). In the last nine years I've had a lot of success with abstract paintings, drawing inspiration from the covers of 'Popular Penguin' paperback books, from the classic Monopoly board, Uno cards, and other pop culture icons. The paintings are distorted representations of the subject matter, transformed with thick brushstrokes and often random lettering, retaining the essence of the original but also becoming something new. I have had sell out shows in Sydney, Melbourne and Singapore. My art has been featured in Art Edit magazine, The Grand Designs Australia Sourcebook and the Financial Review.
