“Holiday at Coogee (party at mine)”. 2023
60cm X 40cm

Painting, acrylic on hotel-lobby style reproduction of Tom Roberts “Holiday Sketch at Coogee”, 1888

Tom Roberts is one of Australia’s most beloved artists – and for good reason. His paintings embody not just the unique light and characteristics of the Australian landscape – but also the spirit of it’s dreams and aspirations from the late 19th Century to now.

That level of dreamy folk-loric power is what invites this reinterpretation and intervention.
