WARWICK FULLER
Born in Sydney, 1948
Warwick has a passion to convey his personal view of the landscape. From childhood Warwick had always sought to create but painting the landscape was not a conscious decision. With no art training at school, the major influences were landscape paintings by his grandfather, hanging and stored at home. He has worked in most mediums including sculpture and printmaking.
At the very core of Warwick's work is his constant search to find a means of expressing the way he feels about, or responds emotionally to, the landscape. It wasn't always so. He remembers the 'good old days' when, as he said,: "I just went out and painted pictures. Battling with no more than the natural elements and a lack of knowledge of my tools, etc." It was in this environment that the notion of painting outdoors confirmed itself as the best way to capture the things he felt were important.

Another dimension was soon added to his search, a more demanding element. Warwick started considering the more philosophical aspects of what and why he was painting. This, in part, took him from being a painter trying to copy what he saw in the lanscape, to a painter attempting to paint what he felt about the landscape. It was this change in attitude that has moved Warwick's paintings forward. He has little time for the sentimental or nostalgic, seeking a truthful, albeit personal and modified interpretation of his subject. Warwick paints from life, attempting to capture his emotional responses to what he sees and experiences around him, developing his larger works in the studio directly from the outdoor work. "I have been painting full-time since 1978 and still can't compare the controlled studio induced calmness, to the thrill of painting from life with all my senses activated."
