Harbour Playground, inspired by the iconic beauty of Sydney’s Eastern suburbs, is a childlike impression of this magical stretch of coastline. Bathed in luminous aqua and seafoam, the painting evokes a Birds Eye view of the city - where sandstone cliffs, lush reserves, the SCG, woolomooloo wharf, the airport, Sydney Harbour Bridge and iconic ocean pools, dissolve into abstract impressions. Brushstrokes of blush, coral pink and emerald green represent lush gardens, rooftops, and rockpools as seen from above, while expressive mark making mimics the undulating landscape of bays and headlands. The turquoise waters are dense and swirling but warm in tone - as much Sydney, as the gangly landforms.
Medium: Acrylic on canvas with oil pastel
Size: 120cm (H) x 90cm (W)
Hanging: beautifully framed in flooded gum, with wire and hooks for hanging
Signed: front and back
