ARTIST BIO

Patrick Carroll was born in Bathurst, New South Wales in 1949 and has been a professional, full-time artist since 1974. 

Patrick continued to paint his amazing works right up until his tragic passing in October 2019. 

The artist’s style can be described as ‘contemporary realism’ however what makes Patrick unique is his desire to incorporate expressionism into his realistic artworks, creating an energetic and immersive effect on the viewer.

Thus it can be said that Patrick Carroll is one of the great Australian artist’s who synthesises abstract elements into reality. 

Patrick’s work is held in numerous collections in Australia, UK, Japan, USA, Europe and New Zealand and the artist has won over 100 Awards and Commendations since 1965, holding over 35 solo exhibitions to date. 

To name a few, the artists work features in the following collections:

Cumberland College of Health Sciences, ACTA Maritime Award Collection, Campbelltown Bicentennial Art Gallery, Dubbo Regional Art Gallery, KAB Gallery, Fairfield Municipal Council, Lismore City Art Gallery, St. Ignatius College Riverview, Lane Cove, St Pius’x College, Chatswood, The American Club Sydney, St Gregory’s College, Bathurst, State Bank of NSW and the Sydney Morning Herald Art Prize Collection

 

Herman Pekel was born in 1956 in Victoria and is an acclaimed Australian artist. Herman began painting from a young age and was influenced by his teachers Roger Webber, Ernest Buckmaster and Lance McNeill who were primarily oil painters.

Herman utilised his early painting knowledge and thereby refined his own painting style by focusing on subject matter. Herman did this by painting ‘on location’, capturing real moments in time and transporting them onto the canvas, initially using oil paints. Herman’s clear passion for painting was reflected in his first sell-out exhibition in Melbourne, which he did when he was only 17 years old.

In addition, Herman also holds a Fine Arts degree from RMIT University in Melbourne.

The artistic style of Herman Pekel has evolved from his early experimentation with abstract impressionism to his signature modern impressionism style, which he executes with oil paints, watercolours and gouache.

Herman’s works can be defined not only by his adaptation of the subject matter he paints but also through his seamless blending of both colour and texture on the canvas. Herman’s modern impressionism, although in the realm of realism, is still so unique as his style of painting appears to be almost ‘melting’ off the canvas whilst still incorporating an incredible amount of detail.

Herman has exhibited his works throughout Australia, New Zealand, the United States and Taiwan.

He is a multi-award winning artist, winning the Camberwell Rotary Watercolour prize in 1993, the Camberwell Rotary Art Show’s Best Oil in 2004, the Camberwell Rotary Watercolour prize in 1989, 1993, 1995 and 2006, the Camberwell Rotary Travel Scholarship in 1989 and in 1989 and in 1993 he won the Alice Bale Award.
