Naive Artist

Wayne Elliott is a Naive artist who has been exhibiting for nearly 20 years .Wayne has exhibited throughout Australia and overseas. His vibrant colourful style deal mainly with story telling events which revolve around the daily activity of people ,especially in small communities. Wayne is a self taught artist who painted for some five years before being discovered. Wayne lives near Geelong ,Victoria Australia and many of his paintings deal with local events- Football,Horse Racing ,small rural Townships like Derrinallum,Brim,Broken Hill,White Cliffs and many more." Much of Elliott's work has a chaotic dynamism; many of the works use central/circular compositions that radiate the energy from the event outward to the perimiter of the work. This system is a common feature in the works of Rubens, El greco, Delacroix and Gericault and one quite difficult to achieve with such concistency." 22nd February, 2006 Stephen Naylor, Lecturer in Art Theory James Cook University.EXHIBITION HISTORY 1991- SOLO EXHIBITION, QUEENSCLIFF FINE ART GALLERY 1992- GROUP EXHIBITION, ART NA�VE GALLERY, MALVERN 1993- GROUP EXHIBITION, TARGET ART EXHIBITION, GEELONG 1994- GROUP EXHIBITION, QUEENSCLIFF FINE ART GALLERY - GROUP EXHIBITION, DAVIES-KILCALDY GALLERY, MALVERN - DAFFODIL DAY ART AUCTION, 1995- GROUP EXHIBITION, ANT HILL GALLERY, BROKEN HILL 1996- “A SPORTING CHANCE” EXHIBITION, LIBBY EDWARDS GALLERY , TOORAK WITH JOHN CAMPBELL, HOWARD WILLIAM STEER, MARIE JONASSON - HARRISON - GROUP EXHIBITION, ARTISTS GARDEN , FITZROY 1997- GROUP EXHIBITION, ARTISTS GARDEN , FITZROY 1998- GROUP EXHIBITION”GAMES PEOPLE PLAY”GLOBAL GALLERY, SYDNEY WITH ELIZABETH DOIDGE, ROBERT MURRELL, ASHLEY TAYLOR, GORDON WATERS - GROUP EXHIBITION, WITHOUT PIER GALLERY,SANDRINGHAM - GROUP EXHIBITION, ARTISTS GARDEN , FITZROY - WINNER KEVIN MURRAY ART PRIZE, ARTISTS GARDEN 1999- GROUP EXHIBITION WOOLLAHRA ART EXHIBITION, SYDNEY - GROUP EXHIBITION, ARTISTS GARDEN , FITZROY 2000- GROUP EXHIBITION, NEW CENTURY GALLERY , NEW YORK , USA CURATED BY IMOGEN CORLETTE, ARTISTS RICK BALL SVEIN KONINGEN MICHELE MARSHALL, ANDREW HEWISH, BERND HEINRICH, NADGE LAMY - GROUP EXHIBITION, HOSPITAL AUDIENCES COLLECTION, NEW YORK , USA - GROUP EXHIBITION, ARTISTS GARDEN , FITZROY 2001- SOLO EXHIBITION, WARRNAMBOOL ART GALLERY , WARRNAMBOOL - GROUP EXHIBITION, ARTISTS GARDEN , FITZROY 2002- GROUP EXHIBITION, PORT PIRIE REGIONAL GALLERY, PORT PIRIE CURATED BY MALCOLM MCKINNON, LUCIA PICHLER, ARTISTS IAN ABDULLA, ROSS AKEMARR, GEORGE ALDERIDGE, STEVEN MARTIN APETYYARR, JAN CLIFFORD, JOHN PADDY CORBET, PATRICK LONG KNGWARREY, GLENN MORGAN - SHORT LISTED ALICE SPRINGS CONTEMPORARY ART PRIZE, ALICE SPRINGS - GROUP EXHIBITION, ARTISTS GARDEN , FITZROY - GROUP EXHIBITION WITHOUT PIER GALLERY, SANDRINGHAM 2003- ARTS VICTORIA , ARTIST IN RESIDENCE, OUR LADY STAR OF THE SEA,PRIMARY SCHOOL OCEAN GROVE, VIC 12 WEEKS RESIDENCE - GROUP EXHIBITION, ARTISTS GARDEN , FITZROY - GEELONG COLLEGE ART SHOW, BEST ACRYLIC PAINTING JUDGED BY DR.GEOFFREY EDWARDS, DIRECTOR, GEELONG ART GALLERY - GROUP EXHIBITION, ARTISTS GARDEN , FITZROY - ALBERT PARK RELAY FOR LIFE COMMISSION 2004- SOLO EXHIBITION, BROKEN HILL CITY ART GALLERY , “THE LAND, THE PEOPLE, THE RACE” CURATED BY JACQUI HELMSLEY TENT EXHIBITION AT BROKEN HILL CUP - GROUP EXHIBITION “QUEENS GALLERY "QUEENSCLIFF , - SOLO EXHIBITION “BODY TONIC’, DRYSDALE - COMMISSION FOR RELAY FOR LIFE, GEELONG - SOLO EXHIBITION “LIFE” –QUEENS GALLERY 2005- COMMISSION FOR 125 TH ANNIVERSARY OF COUTA BOAT RACES, QUEENSCLIFF , VICTORIA- SHORTLISTED FOR BROKEN HILL ART PRIZE ,BROKEN HILL,NSW - SHORTLISTED FOR WARRNAMBOOL ART GALLERY /WARRNAMBOOL RACING CLUB EXHIBITION - GROUP EXHIBITION, ARTIST’S GARDEN,FIZTROY 2006- MILDURA CITY ART GALLERY SOLO EXHIBITION-“COUNTRY LANDSCAPES AND PEOPLE” 2007- GROUP EXHIBITION, ARTISTS GARDEN , FITZROY 2008- GEELONG COLLEGE ART SHOW For more information you can go to his web site at: http://www.wayneelliott.info/
