John Anderson 1947-

The seascapes of Australian painter John Anderson draw in equal parts from his imagination and from his experience of the Australian coastal environment. His use of chiaroscuro contributes to the sense of images emerging from an inner dream state.

"I like to make paintings that show the puzzle of existence. Something that when people look at it they say, yes I have felt that."

- John Anderson
