Chris Sullivan

Queenslands Scenic Rim and Lockyer Valley local landscape artist. Painting in Oil and Acrylic mediums.

The best art taps into something deep. There is truth in art, like there is truth in math – nature – the world. Art is a universal language. There are no words; but we understand.

Visual art, like music, can have a rhythm. I like the way ocean waves splash on a canvas, or how crosshatched lines on paper form a face, or how the swing of a hammer against a point chisel knocks off a chunk of marble – gradually revealing a figure within. Art has rhythm, movement, a sense of time or timelessness. I sometimes find myself lost in art – trying to capture a moment – oblivious to everything except that glob of paint hanging from the tip of a brush in the second before it touches the canvas.
