CLIVE SINCLAIR

My watercolours are contemporary but hold a romantic quality through them, I try to catch the simplicity in my art work of design and abstraction with an Asian feel. I am an exhibiting member of The Twenty Melbourne Painters Society which is having its 100 year exhibition this year. TMP is a very famous exhibiting group of some of Australia’s most prestigious painters over the past 100 years of Australian art. It is a pleasure to be exhibiting with two very fine painters who are both friends and members of the Twenty Melbourne Painters.

As an Artist I paint many different subjects as you will observe from my work in this exhibition. Utrillo on a Silver Sea and Deserted Beach are such variations in subject matter including the medium used. I think they are both exciting subjects.
The painting 'Venice Morning' shows movement and colour compared with a gentle and subtle painting such as 'Summer Afternoon' once again showing extreme variation in style and subject matter. I think the variety of subject matter and atmosphere together with the use of different mediums make for an interesting exhibition. |

My art is fixed firmly in the visual world and paint is the medium I have chosen to express myself. Taking Paul Cezanne’s dictum that art is a return to nature, but not to be taken at face value. Art, artifice, artful – the word implies a contrivance and selection. The four sides of a painting, not found in nature, impose all the conventions that have been adopted by artists over time – the two dimensional decorative abstract and colour possibilities.
