Robert Clinch is one of many artists included in the current exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ballarat, Medieval to Metal: The Art and Evolution of the Guitar, opening tomorrow Sat 12 October and showing until 2 February 2025.
Robert Clinch’s lithograph Arpeggio is characteristic of his work with his detailed and meticulous rendering of an ‘urban capriccio’.
Clinch’s striking imagery transports the viewer to a fictional but hauntingly real world; telling accessible tales of loneliness, joy, injustice, humour, melancholy and whimsy. Clinch paints entirely from drawings, executed plein-air, often at numerous locations and then adapted for composition in the studio. The same fastidious approach is devoted to his beautifully hand-drawn limited-edition lithographs.
