Overview of this event
A collection of landscape paintings on the dual nature of the painting surface and layers of seeing. The harbour foreshore is a world of differences, the constant change in tide, light and air. I paint the differences between these things, and their dual nature. The painting surface and harbour surface are an expression of life’s inherent duality and fragility.
A dual encounter in these large diptychs is a far experience of observed landscape in light fragments and the near experience of heartfelt brush-mark paint layers.
Pete Finlay is a Sydney-based painter whose work is deeply rooted in the discovery and vitality of the natural world. His paintings emerge from the powerful connection he feels with the landscape, particularly along the foreshore, capturing the essence of these places and translating them into vivid creations. This initial spark of inspiration is honed and refined through a thoughtful studio process. His work has been featured in numerous public and private exhibitions, including shows at Sydney galleries, Art Fairs, Charity Art Group exhibitions, and notable venues such as the Willoughby Incinerator Art Space and the Concourse Art Space.
Guided by intuition, Pete believes that art has the power to transcend boundaries, offering viewers a unique perspective that allows them to experience the world in new and transformative ways.
