“My images echo a state of suspended animation, when everything slows down to a point where one can appreciate the contemplative nature of a world in balance, a world where everything is in its right place: an ideal vision. Although each painting is an intuitive “moment of clarity”, there is also a nostalgic quality, a half remembered past.”

About the Artist

Learn more about William Breen

William Breen’s skill in depicting Victoria's regional landscapes and the distinctly Melburnian streetscapes of Fitzroy and Carlton results in images that speak of suspended moments, full of possibility and a heightened sense of awareness. Best characterised by the use of soft colouration and intricate, almost painstaking detail, his paintings are testament to a master's skill of observation and spatial rendering. Cool and quiet and devoid of the human figure, these landscapes seduce the viewer with both their formal, classical composition and their genuine quality of visual contemplation.
