Howard Arkley (1951-1999) was an Australian

artist, born in Melbourne, known for his

airbrushed paintings of houses, architecture, and

suburbia. His parents were Australian and had

British ancestry.

Arkely’s dynamic and stylised use of colour and

line, along with his use of an airbrush to apply

paint, created images intentionally devoid of the

artist’s hand. Through this aesthetic, his work

maintained a consistent exploration of both the

suburban sphere and popular culture within

Australia.
