It\nshould come as no surprise that at age 17, receiving his first significant art\nprize, Pekel rocked up on stage wearing his school uniform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pekel is a true designer of paintings. His works are refined and detailed, placing him among the best Australian contemporary Impressionists of his time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"574\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artchat.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Pekel-Herman-47670-Glass-House-Up-Stream-Oil-170x95cm-7300-1024x574.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.artchat.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Pekel-Herman-47670-Glass-House-Up-Stream-Oil-170x95cm-7300.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.artchat.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Pekel-Herman-47670-Glass-House-Up-Stream-Oil-170x95cm-7300-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.artchat.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Pekel-Herman-47670-Glass-House-Up-Stream-Oil-170x95cm-7300-768x431.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption> Herman Pekel Glass House Up Stream Oil 170x95cm <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We invite you to check out his paintings of Queensland on\nour website redhillgalley.com.au or in the gallery Monday to Friday 10am-4pm 61\nMusgrave Road Red Hill Brisbane<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is easy to see why Pekel is described as creatively\nfearless.
