Wayne Strickland, "Although I live on the Sunshine coast of Australia and love to paint the sea, I also love to portray the great outback and our history."
Critique by Ken White:
Wayne Strickland-Widley regarded as Australia's greatest living Equestrian Artist,is passionate about Australia, its history and its characters. His work has a dynamic realism, born of a lifelong association with the men and horses of the Australian bush. Wayne sculpts in bronze, and paints in oils and watercolours, capturing Australia's heritage and identity.
Strickland's audience is international. One of his works was presented to (then) President Ronald Reagan, another was commissioned by a Swiss corporate, still others are part of public and private collections in Britain, Canada,Italy,Germany, France, New Zealand, America Japan and the USA.
The artist uses the 'lost wax' method of casting, which is both difficult and labour intensive, but allows for the precision and fine detail his work is renowned for. When sculpting, Strickland is hands on, not only creating the original moulds, but also participating in the casting and finishing processes
