DEAN REILLY'S Solo Exhibition 'The Landscape is Beyond Me' is on now until September 30th. "In Australia, space and place stage stories torn between absurdity and beauty, the knowable and unknowable, and the sublime. My experience towards landscape comes from my internal feelings and experiences of country through observation, study, and from the dreams I had as a little boy growing up on the land. Landscape can be viewed as a majestic natural garden, a wild mongrel scrub or sacred country, for me however, landscape represents a strange combination, torn between the heroic and the absurd. I think it is the absolute hopelessness of the situation that we can find joy, connection and hope in the landscape that is beyond me." – DEAN REILLY #birdpainting

"The myth becomes clear as the truth becomes clouded. The story becomes legend and begins to inform us in how we feel about our history and how we feel about ourselves as people. What we choose to believe becomes the way in which we view the world and form morality. Inspired by Nolan’s Ned Kelly series. The Bushranger is caught in a fused representation of a centaur. Here the figure is caught between the human and the animal, metaphoric for the wild and tame." – DEAN REILLY Solo Exhibition ON NOW with free packing and shipping on all works Australia wide 'Myth' 122 x 91cm, 125 x 94cm framedacrylic on canvas $3,500.00

"I have heard conflicting opinions on the art of water divining. Some people believe it is very precise and reveals the location of underground water. Whilst others believe there is water everywhere, it is only matter of depth." – DEAN REILLY Divine Calling 101 x 101cm, 104.5 x 104.5cm framed acrylic on canvas #australianpainter

"Morphology is concerned with the study of forms and things and it is the title of these smaller scale paintings. They are all framed within the following context of questioning. “Who owns this landscape, do we own the landscape or does the landscape own us? How do the stories we create relate to our landscape and our history?” These are the question at the centre of the unfolding Australian narrative." – DEAN REILLY 'Morphology 2' 30.5 x 41.5cm, 33.5 x 43.5cm framedacrylic on canvas $990.00 Free packing and shipping Australia Wide
