PANORAMA BY DAVID HINCHLIFFE @ WENTWORTH GALLERIES

Australian artist David Hinchliffe’s solo exhibition opened in Sydney early this week showcasing his brilliant new works consisting of large-scale panoramic scenes of Sydney Harbour, local and international streetscapes and the perspectives of everyday life. 

David travels the globe capturing the essence and beauty of cities around the world in its many varied forms. Using his contemporary impressionist style, he creates an uplifting bold colour palette of city landscapes with the movement of light, shadows and shapes strongly influencing his feel and perception of the vibrancy and atmosphere within that urban environment.

In fact, David admits that the act of painting requires enormous concentration and focus to achieve the creativity that works for him. 

David Hinchliffe has been painting, exhibiting and selling his work in galleries since the age of 12. He started off in Brisbane as a young artist, won numerous competitions and awards furthering his practical artistic study in New York, Paris and London while working his way around the world.  Dabbling in paintings, sculpture and photography he has presented more than 60 solo exhibitions worldwide. He pursued a career in politics for a while, but returned to continue his passion with art. 

David has painted portraits of former Queensland Premier Campbell Newman, poet Bruce Dawe, former PM Malcolm Fraser, actor Bryan Nason and businessman, Sir Alex McKay.

The Sydney opening of PANORAMA at the Wentworth Galleries attracted many of Hinchliff’s collectors and followers both new and old, meeting with unanimous praise from all in attendance. The evening was put on by the Rotary Club of Kings Cross, raising funds for the Intensive Care Unit of Prince of Wales Hospital at Randwick in urgent need of new equipment.
