Rick Andersen is a regional artist living on the outskirts of Bega in southern New South Wales Australia.
“My landscapes describe a man-made land not the natural environment. They show the marks of human occupation of the land, fences, roads, rows of introduced conifers, pump sheds, and dams.
My new work reveals a change in subject from country roads to forest imagery. On a visual level forest celebrates all the things painters love - dark and light, rich colours and textures, sculptural forms and as much variation and detail as you can handle. Visual enigmas abound. ”
