Adrian Lockhart

Year of Birth: 1947

Background:
represented exclusively in Western Australia by Gadfly Gallery

Studio works include paintings, drawings and prints.
Print workshops include Diane Davidson of Whaling Road, Sydney and Larry Rawlings, Melbourne.

Themes:
A pared-down stylistic approach to land-, seascape and figurative subjects and a Morandi-like intensity to stil life subjects in his studio, has seen Adrian Lockhart become a master of his repetoire, with incremental changes over the years to palette and perspective and providing the pivotal points around which these serene, intmate and deeply personal paintings evolve.
