'in order to let the light in, we gotta chop the big tree down', oil on canvas, 120x90cm, 2016

Cameron Gill is an emerging artist from Melbourne Australia, whose studio practice is currently based in Preston, Melbourne

Gills practice is project based, working predominantly with paint, in one style or another, depending on the nature of the project. 

Personal photographs are often the starting point from which works evolve in the studio, however paintings and painters, past and present, wanderings, and chance, help move his paintings away from photography to talk more about painting itself.  

Gill is interested in what it means to be an Australian painter, if that's even important, can you avoid it, would you, why, how do you paint an Australian idea, what the hell is an Australian idea, its perhaps not so important to answer these questions, but to grapple with them.

A new interest in the natural landscape has dominated his practice of late, however this shift from suburban to rural landscapes still holds at its heart a quiet celebration of the ordinary.
