Club

'Club' was a recent finalist in The Doyle's Art Award (landscape) for 2025.

One in a series of my landscapes that celebrate the forgotten, neglected or abandoned spaces around us. The focus of this piece is an old shed currently used for a pigeon racing club, which sits next to a tennis court and kids playground in Unanderra, NSW. Layered paper elements and paint mimic the corrugated metal covered in graffiti.

The collage elements have been taken from vintage books, cardboard boxes, magazines, packaging materials and junk mail. Reusing these found items, which are usually discarded, to create something entirely new and unique.

This piece is on stretched canvas and 3 coats of matte varnish have been applied to protect the artwork. It has a wire at the back with painted edges so it is ready for your wall.

Please note, in situ pics are not to scale. Thanks for checking it out. Cheers Darren
