Fred Cress

After two decades as Australia's foremost abstractionist. Cress became a committed realist, producing works of great power and presence which cover the gamut of human emotions and weaknesses: love, hate, lust, envy and greed. He also paints works of great beauty and serenity, lyrical landscapes and architectural studies which are the stage for his human dramas. His world is divided between Sydney and rural France, an existence which gives him the best of both the old and the new worlds
