Andrew Sayers, the artist, came as a surprise to many who were well aware of the achievements of the talented scholar, curator and Director, (including inaugural Director of the National Portrait Gallery of Australia 1998 – 2010). The gouaches painted between 2010 – 2015, were painted en plain-air and are statements citing “the challenge of taking a sheet of paper into nature and capturing something of a place and a mood.” They are an expression of Sayers’ delight in travel, in capturing the essence of a landscape, especially coastal views, and expose his passion for geology through depictions of rocky places. An exploration of geological time is also a feature of these works, of brief moments of time contrasted with longer, drawn-out time, such as the ever-changing sea crashing against rocks shaped over eons.
Through his public exhibition of paintings, Sayers has left an indelible mark as an artist, defining him beyond his successful and celebrated institutional career.
