Garry Boase

Garry lived the first 13 years of his life on the family farm in the wheatbelt district of Narembeen. This childhood gave him a profound love of the great outdoors. As a child he filled jotter pads with drawings and by age 13 was convinced he wanted to be an artist.

“The white rainbow paintings are basically fantasies where I have used the actual locations to re-create the way I remember them from when I was a child.”

What people say

There’s a new approach to an old technique in Boase’s work, one that makes you want to look again with wonder. Pointillism is the technique but this artist takes it further than most, to offer stunning effects that seem to glisten and sing the praises of the medium, in this case acrylic on canvas.

I simply want to tell you how much joy I derive from your ‘Serpentine Hills’, arguably the best painting we have in our home.

In its prominent spot the way you captured the sunlight and shadows of the forest is a continual delight.

To me there is a power to the figure of the woman that is amplified by her uncompromising stare. She is surrounded by a halo of light from the sun behind her that catches her wild hair. She has a strength of presence that is almost overwhelming like an archetypal image of feminine energy

… a huge painting of ‘London Court’, which is so captivating that my grandchild once tried to drive his toy car up the mall before I quickly restrained him.

The visual effect of optical mixing of overlayed dots in pink, yellow, green and white on the sunlight ground creates a heat haze shimmer that radiates warmth from the foreground. It is a scene that invites and envelopes with a welcome to country and to home.
