Biography
To many art lovers, Tim Storrier is the contemporary Australian painter who most poignantly conveys the unyielding essence of the Australian landscape: its vast melancholy, its primacy over and beyond all human intervention. As no other artist, Storrier has encompassed the subtlety of the Australian landscape fugitive moods, the silently unfolding vibrancy of its droning expanse. He has searchingly recorded his most personal, intuitive responses to the place of his birthright and his ongoing source and subject for creative revisitation. In recent years, Storrier subject matter has extended into a new poetic vein, through two series depicting the spectre of the luminescent southern sky and the impenetrable green ocean.
