View "EVERYDAY A SUNDAY" exhibition on now
David Bromley is amongst the most successful and innovative painters currently working in Australia. In his art he has managed to combine a distinctive Pop sensibility - a love of found images, photographic sources and mass media references - with an inventive relish for the effects of paint. His work divides into two distinct but related strands: images of childhood (adapted from the world of 1950s' book illustrations) and images of the female nude. Bromley is also increasingly in demand as a portraitist.
He has been a finalist four times in the Archibald Prize and the painter of some famous visages, including filmmaker Scott Hicks, actor Hugo Weaving and pop-star Kylie Minogue. Displaying an extraordinary artistic energy he has experimented with a wide variety of different media - printmaking, ceramic, sculpture and, recently, film, furniture, fashion and interiors.
Gary and Lara visit David Bromley at his studio March 2013...
What an honour it was to visit David Bromley in his home in Byron Bay recently. It is like stepping into another world, “David Bromley’s World”. You enter through a gate off the busy main street, and immediately you are immersed in lush tropical gardens artistically planted and manicured with a scattering of Bromley’s bronze and timber sculptures, swings, a Bromley painted bus and wooden boat. Like a scene from a 1950's childhood dream. And inside his studio is another feast for the eyes, a collector’s heaven, there is too much to take in with one look. Bromley’s world reveals his artistic and personal journey... creative, busy, full, kind, sharing, energetic, contentment, and a real sense of his self and place in life.
