Born in 1960 in Sheffield, England, David Bromley
immigrated to Australia with his family in 1964 and
emerged as a painter in the mid 1980s. Since then,
he has become one of the most recognisable and
innovative artists in Australia. Over the past 20 years
David’s work has fostered widespread acclaim and
notoriety in Australia and internationally. He has exhibited
on nearly every continent including Asia, Europe, Africa
and America.
In his practice, David has developed distinct themes
and unique styles of painting; his best known are the
nude female portraits and children’s series, but he often
explores with various mediums and imagery that portray
a certain whimsy. However diverse in his subject matter,
David’s work is enduringly figurative, daringly coloured
and executed with a graphic intention that is striking
and memorable.
Known for his portraiture-style art works, David Bromley
has set a very solid mark of his identity in the world of
art. For this art work, the renowned Australian artist
depicts a boxing boy in gouache and acrylic on French
hand made artist paper. Despite the simplicity in view,
you cannot deny the impressive precision and accuracy.
