Abbotsford Corner

Recent painting of the Abbotsford area, influenced by Hundertwasser an artist and architect from Austria and later New Zealand. He was a pioneer of the sustainable movement, quoted in saying “Straight lines are godless“

“Rick is an artist with a very well-developed sense of place and a real affinity for the natural environment. It is clear from looking at his work that he has an intimate and profound relationship with his subject. His paintings are the result of two great things: an artist who possesses a refined technique that perfectly matches his subject matter; and an artist who honours and completely belongs to the landscape he is painting.” ~ Animator Sal Cooper 2014

Acrylic paint on canvas.

About the artist.

Rick Matear aime la peinture et l'atmosphère du couvent d'Abbotsford. Sa porte est généralement ouverte et on peut l'apercevoir en train de faire des photos. Rick est réputé pour ses représentations convaincantes de la pittoresque région côtière de la péninsule de Mornington. Ses peintures reflètent son amour de la plage et du paysage, où il a passé tous les étés dont il se souvient. "La peinture de la plage prolonge l'été le plus longtemps possible.dit Rick.
