WORDS AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY
PETE THORNTON
Stuart Hoerisch
Stuart's current style that he pursues in his art is
far removed from the detailed pen and pencil realist way
he captured the landscape in his early days.
Now his work is more of an interpretation
of the places he paints. Broad strokes with palette knives,
sweeping gestures, added textural elements all go into creating
his stunning take on the landscape of the northern Barossa
region and other Australian environments.
Stuart has also been a passionate educator inspiring
both young people and adults to follow their art abilities
and passions. They have been lucky to be influenced
and supported by such a prolific local artist.
A ‘mostly’ portrait and ‘brief’ interview series
exploring the idea that one image has the power
to tell the whole story.
Each ‘sitter’ suggests the next person to
be photographed in this series, and thus ensues
an interesting and unknown trail of Barossa
identities to come.
Stay tuned… Pete.
