ARTIST PROFILE:

GORDON RICHARDSON
lives in inspirational Olinda in the “Blue Dandenong’s”, not far from where Arthur Streeton retired.
He paints mainly landscapes and still-life.  He has been developing his work in the traditional tonal style in oils, having been tutored by Jeffrey Murphy at Sherbrooke Gallery, but has recently discovered the joy of watercolour, especially when travelling.

He is in deep admiration of the dramatic work of Caravaggio (1571?-1610) whose paintings have the impact of a modern film clip, exciting you to wonder what happens next. Gordon strives to emulate this in his landscapes, to have the viewer peering to know what is just out of view.
