Rick Amor is regarded as one of the country’s most noble contemporary Australian portraitists. He is also a painter of enigmatic, ominous landscapes, seascapes and cityscapes that haunt the viewer like dreams, dimly recalled.
This group of 21 paintings, drawings and prints has been selected to indicate major elements of his work, evoking his professional commissions, his circle in Melbourne, his periods abroad, his stern self-analysis and his brooding visions of the natural and built environment.
