Artist: Donovan Christie
Donovan Christie is a young emerging acrylic Artist, his main body of work generally consists of Hyper-Realism Streetscapes and Landmarks, mainly focusing on the iconic corners of his hometown Adelaide. I so frequently find myself standing still and appreciating things that people take for granted in life. This outlook makes me an avid admirer of people, architecture and urban landscapes in particular. I was given the subject of ‘CREATE’. I approached this topic as I do most of my pieces of work, with a home town (Adelaide) aspect. I felt that the ‘Hills Hoist’ (one of South Australia’s most iconic creations) along with the Colour bond steel fencing and galvo roofs, that nothing could ring truer to home.
