Artwork Description

"Reef Maps III" by Wayne Clayton is part of my recent original abstract works inspired from holidays with my family in North Queensland. Living amongst some of the most amazing and beautiful scenery there is.
Rainforest on one side and the Great Barrier Reef on the other.

"A Day On the Reef" is a series of acrylics works inspired by a fishing trip just off Mission Beach. The day started at 4am with a calm ocean and blue skies. I was intrigued with the patterns of the GPS mapping system that my son had with all his best fishing spots dotted all over the place Reef Maps I,II,III. We came to a very shallow area where you can see the coral just below the surface which inspired the Brain Coral series. Our day ended with a bumpy race back to land before a approaching Rain Storm caught us.

Artist Bio

Wayne is influenced by the Australian landscape and his childhood growing up in North Queensland. Being surrounded by the natural beauty of Rainforest, Beaches and The Great Barrier Reef, he has had an abundant and rich source of inspiration.

Wayne's Works of original art are highly intuitive and deeply symbolic of the natural form and colours of the environment and landscapes he has lived in, he explores and continues to discover. From greens and blues splashed with golds and coppers, to vibrant yellows dotted with warm browns, his work expresses the mood and feelings he gets from his surroundings and experiences within them.

Through each piece Wayne creates, he aims to evoke a sense of emotion and spirituality for the viewer. Mixing a vibrant colour pallet with the use of different mediums, combined with texture and surface, results in layers and depth within each piece. This gives the viewer an experience that delves into each layer, searching and finding hidden experiences of the environment it represents.

Wayne is an intuitive artist working in mixed medium and says he allows each piece to take him on its own journey until he feels the words “Done! I’m Finished Now” and that's when he downs the tools.
