David K Wiggs

Sydney based artist David Wiggs is inspired by the natural beauty of his surroundings, as he paints in the moment at the precise location where he beautifully captures the movement of Sydney's city and beach lifestyle within his thick impasto oil paintings.
"It is impossible to deny the importance and influence our landscape has upon us and therefore my art. I do a lot of work in the landscape itself, which I believe is the only way to achieve a real response to the subject before me. It develops my observation of a single moment which I could not achieve in a studio situation. Spontaneity is my aim within the silent presence of the bush, the timelessness and power of the life and the beauty of Sydney's beaches." - David Wiggs
