The works here have been created by a young and talented Australian artist who's work evokes a soulful and often mysterious encounter with his subjects. His unique portrait perspective, augmented by an unconventional and often playful use of color, forces the observer to delve deeper into the emotions and sensibilities of those he's captured on canvas.
Gerard Rush has worked in oils and oil pastels for many years. His style is typified by his use of intense color and strong, almost sculptural, shading. Gerard has also always been able to capture a clearly identifiable likeness in all his portraits.
Gerard studied art in Sydney, Australia and has a Diploma in Fine Arts. His works have been hung in exhibitions in Sydney and his illustrations used in books published in Australia.
