Graeme Altmann |
|

|
|
Graeme Altmann’s paintings and sculptures are dark and mysterious, bordering on the surreal with a distinctive ‘other worldliness’ quality that is translated into large open spaces. The isolated figures of his dreamlike and painterly landscapes often seem to be caught up in a struggle against the elements.
During the twenty years of his painting and sculpture career, Graeme Altmann has held over 13 solo exhibitions. Winner of the 2005 Maritime Art Prize, Altmann has had a string of success in Australia since his first exhibition in Melbourne in 1988. In 2000 he was recipient of the Mornington Peninsula Art Prize and the Tattersalls Club Landscape Art Prize. Graeme Altmann’s work is represented in several high profile public, corporate and private collections including, Pan Continental Mining Collection; Sir William Dobell Art Foundation; Crown Casino, Melbourne; Embassy of Switzerland; Art Bank; NSW University of Technology; Bundanon Trust and the Warrnambool Art Gallery. |
