Australian artist Robert Clinch, is represented
in New York by Hoorn-Ashby Gallery
and in Australia by Robin Gibson Gallery in
Sydney, Hill
Smith Gallery in Adelaide and Dickerson Gallery in Melbourne.
Clinch’s striking imagery transports
the viewer to a fictional but hauntingly real world; telling accessible
tales of loneliness, joy, injustice, humour, melancholy and whimsy.
In keeping with his neo-renaissance use of
the luxurious Egg Tempera medium, he paints entirely from
drawings, executed plein-air, often at numerous locations and then
adapted for composition in the studio. The same fastidious approach
is devoted to his beautifully hand-drawn limited-edition lithographs.
Clinch has completed many major commissions,
including works for; The National Gallery of Victoria, The Ian
Potter Museum (Melbourne University), Frank Lowy (Westfield Holdings)
and Lindsay Fox (Linfox Transport).
