The night garden

A return to portraiture for myself, this painting went through many versions before I was content, to paint a well painted fresh and creative portrait.

Gavin Hurley is a figurative and predominately a narrative painter‚ who loves to paint in an experimental and intuitive manner‚ Hurley's paintings are poetic and often with a dark or humorous undertone. I like to think about and explore the
absurd and the humorous characteristics within our society‚ whilst containing a strong narrative that is strange enough to be interesting.
A graduate from Newcastle art school I have been involved in exhibitions and prizes in Newcastle ‚ Sydney Melbourne the Central Coast and also rural NSW‚ and has also been regularly selected for many art prizes such as the Gosford art prize‚ Musswelbrook art prize and the Newcastle emerging artist prize.
