Rodney Sharpe

Leaving Graphic Design in 1987,

Rodney Sharpe travelled Australia

as a portrait artist, returning to Sydney

to exhibit in various galleries.

In 2007 he won the 'Invite' painting prize,

followed by a period of quick exhibitions

exploring the mysterious nature

of water and paint.

Rodney has recently entered works in

the Lismore Portraiture prize and exhibits

in Nimbin and Lismore,

has began an art collective in the form

of the Nimbin community centre, and had the National Gallery acquire a couple of his wood cuts.

His works, with a surrealist bent,

range from lino cuts and assemblages

to giant scenarios. - FEB 2011
