Visit Picture this Framed to see the work of North Queensland arts’ legend David Rowe.  David is a surrealist and landscape painter based in Ingham, who has been practising since 1978. Rowe’s work predominantly consists of oil on canvas and paper, pencil drawings and shaped sculptural canvases. The artist’s work explores domestic and religious abstracts, portraits, landscapes, seascapes, surreal fantasies and conceptual nature studies.

About The Artist

David Rowe has attended extensive training in a range of workshops and residencies, including twice in the McWhirter Art Centre in Fortitude Valley. He has taught art to several regional primary schools, as well as private tutoring to small groups from his home.

Rowe has exhibited widely in Queensland, with solo, group and joint exhibitions.
