Daniel Pata: HIGH COUNTRY | Solo Exhibition

"Lloyd Rees once commented that he particularly liked the works of the Blue mountains and said that I should continue my work up there.
That was certainly an affirmation of my interest in the mountains as subject matter.
Spectacular precipitous cliffs, clouded valleys and vast distances, a wonderful opportunity to explore the equally vast range of colours, tones and rich textures on display and to the fascinating interplay of space all to be discovered more deeply in continuing visits.
I continue to explore material produced en Plein air from the snowy mountains and look forward to my continuing work in the Blue Mountains, one of the great places on earth where the impact is still exhilarating pictorially. ~ Daniel Pata 2025
