Tony Clark is one of Australia’s most respected artists. For over 40 years his uniquely styled paintings have been testing the boundaries between arts genres and disciplines whilst borrowing from the histories of art, architecture and theatre design along the way. He has oft lived and worked in Italy and Germany and is now residing back in Australia. This portrait was made at his tin shed studio in Mission Beach far north Queensland whilst he worked on the paintings for his massive new retrospective exhibition “Unsculpted”. Always a prolific artist, the exhibition consists of over a hundred works spanning a forty year period and ran at the University of Melbourne Buxton Contemporary from November 2024 till June 2025.
