Artwork Description

Dating back to the late 1700s of the Industrial Revolution, narrowboats were originally used for the transport of goods from factory to market or ships.
Later they became family homes and today beautifully decorated boats glide the canals and locks of the United Kingdom.
From an image taken in the late 1800s, the painting includes a work boat and an ornately decorated home.

Rob Sinclair, a artist based in Brisbane, has been passionately engaged in painting for over 40 years. His artistic journey has been shaped by various mentors, including Bill Williams in Melbourne and Sally Mehdizadeh in Brisbane. Rob’s work spans a diverse range of subjects, from marine settings to still life, and from the outback to the rainforest. His love for strong colors is evident in his vibrant compositions.

Rob primarily works on timber panel, appreciating its stiffness and precision for brushstrokes. Although canvas occasionally finds its way into his smaller paintings, timber remains his preferred medium. His artistic philosophy centers around capturing the transformation from reality to oil, emphasizing simplicity over photorealism.

His portfolio showcases a rich tapestry of creativity, and you’ll find a variety of pieces that resonate with different themes and emotions. Whether it’s the serene beauty of the Brisbane River or other captivating scenes, Rob’s work invites viewers to appreciate the world through his unique artistic lens.
