Stolen – Art Exhibition by Daniel Butterworth
Daniel Butterworth is a local artist, known for his loose non-traditional style of painting. Usually known for portraiture Daniel has taken his works in a different direction for “Stolen”.
While travelling Australia, Daniel wanted to paint its diversity. Using his patented style of house paint on cardboard he has captured the scenery of his travels.
Along the way, amongst the landscapes, are trashed and burnt-out vehicles, which modernise the scene.
Wanting to acknowledge the Indigenous peoples (while painting their land), the show and artworks are titled “Stolen”, inclusive of a self-portrait of the artist titled “The Thief”, leaving it up to the viewer to decide if it is the land or the vehicles that have been stolen.
