About the Item

John Waller is an acclaimed contemporary Australian landscape painter who has exhibited nationally over several decades. His work is inspired by the Australian landscape, in particular that of regional Victoria. He is represented in many significant private and public collections. Of course, Waller has always been a tasty painter. He often composes in what we might call relational terms. Each section of deftly handled paint is set so its colour, tone and texture plays off against, and harmonises, other adjacent sections. Seen up close this order of mature paintwork emphatically speaks of the artist’s love for what he is doing. So the viewer’s experience of looking at each Waller painting might be likened to hearing a passage of music performed by a virtuoso soloist. And you don’t have to read music to respond and enjoy when this happens. One can savour it on an immediate sensual level, letting the glistening notes, the tonal shifts, the carefully spiced rhythmic textures, lift and carry along your imagination. Similarly these pictures sing directly to a sensitive eye attuned to quality, sing of an artist’s commitment to painting as best he can, his striving for a relaxed and cool gorgeousness, his belief in what he does. This is why they do not strain to impress, why they are not propped by jargon or abstruse theories, why they ignore Provincial mannerisms. It’s unnecessary. Because these sensually worked compositions are entirely about John Waller painting to satisfy himself, being a means of his creative fulfilment. They offer visual pleasure, which is surely the primary duty of art; a deep, sustaining, quite cosmopolitan visual pleasure. And that is why they succeed. Dr Christopher Heathcote October 2018.
