Stretched - no frame  |  Acrylic on canvas

Paul Battams transforms the idyllic waterfront/waterline near his home into his paintings. Applying abstract principles of light, movement, and colour to traditional plein air landscape painting. He uses swathes of vivid colour, drips, geometric shapes, and strong gestural brushstrokes to create semi-representational images of moving water, trees, and the movement of light. 

Paul Battams says of his work: "What’s fundamental to my work is the ‘act of painting’. It’s the elevated experience during painting that deepens my sense of self. That is the Spirit of painting in which I seek to encourage visual openings. I try to extract the essential, to reveal the simple, to move towards the truth as I see it." 

Paul's work is increasingly sought after, forming an intrinsic part of numerous collections throughout Australia and internationally.
