Echoes of the escarpment
Oil and charcoal on poly cotton
This work explores the resilience of the Australian landscape through raw, expressive mark making.
Using charcoal, oils and acrylic, I build layered textures that echo the exposed sandstone of the Illawarra escarpment. Rather than focusing on strict likeness, the painting seeks to capture a sense of place — the rugged strength of the land, and the distant calls of black cockatoos echoing through the valleys of the escarpment.

About Adam Galic
Adam Galic is an artist from Helensburgh on the south coast of NSW. He completed his BFA at the National Art School in 2011, majoring in oil painting. Adam finds his inspiration in the natural world; from the bush to the coast, the Australian landscape is a common subject in his work.
Adam emphasizes bold brushstrokes and raw mark making to express the resilient yet brittle Australian landscape. He often finds beauty in moments that are often unseen, a burnt out log or a broken branch. Subjects that create a narrative to the scene.
