Through his hyper real and high key chromatic oil paintings, Jack Rowland aims to alter our perception of the natural world and urges us to re-discover our familiar landscapes. Jack paints trees. There are ways and ways of painting tress but none matches his realistic approach, yet with surreal colour schemes.
Rowland transforms images of familiar Australian landscapes into paintings of an unfamiliar, dreamlike, or even alien environment. In these eye catching unique works, Rowland aims to offer us an alternative way of viewing the natural world and revitalizes the often thought passé genre of landscape painting.
Jack Rowland holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Painting) from RMIT University. He recently completed a residency with Takt, Berlin and his work was shown in a number of exhibitions whilst in Germany including Naturlich!, Kunstraum Tapir, Berlinand Above From Below, The Cellar Gallery, Berlin. Rowland is represented by Anna Pappas Gallery.
