For Whisson, painting is in his blood. Son of esteemed artist Eric Whisson, this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.visitbrisbane.com.au\/\">Brisbane<\/a> artist gave up his job as a professional framer in 2003 and turned his talents to the canvas fulltime. In recent years Whisson has also taken up formal study in the arts and his style has since evolved.<\/p>\n<p>Whisson recently commented on his latest exhibition \u2018Limitless\u2019 stating: <em>\u201cthis work positions me from realist art to conceptual art in order to examine expressive values. With this exhibition, I have been particularly focused on painting from life hypnotic objects sporadically captured in a fleeting moment of time. I feel a certain impulse to paint what I see, yet incensed enough not to replicate the painterly image values before me, but authenticate my experience.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3924\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artchat.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/TW.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1275\" height=\"299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.artchat.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/TW.jpg 1275w, https:\/\/www.artchat.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/TW-300x70.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.artchat.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/TW-768x180.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.artchat.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/TW-1024x240.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1275px) 100vw, 1275px\" \/>His recent work has developed markedly, taking an abstract approach which continues to reflect his skill in traditional techniques yet has enabled him to communicate more than a visual representation, and has elevated his passion and vision to another level of skill and perception.<\/p>\n<p>Whisson applies a \u201cen plein air\u2019 style of painting to the spectacular coastal and landscape scenes of Queensland. His ability to balance light with shadow captures the ambience of the Australian Landscape.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cAs an artist for 28 years, sharing my knowledge and\u00a0experience with others is an extremely gratifying part of my journey.\u201d<\/em> Todd Whisson<\/p>\n<p>Limitless is exhibiting at Red Hill Gallery, 61 Musgrave Road from 12 May to 4 June 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Sales commence prior to opening and the exhibition will finish on Sunday 4 June 2017.
