Description
Balmain is an original oil streetscape by Australian artist Herman Pekel, signed Pekel at the lower left and titled on the reverse.
The street curves between buildings and parked vehicles beneath a luminous sky. Strong tonal contrasts, cool shadows and expressive brushwork create depth and atmosphere. Presented in its frame with a pale mount, it is an engaging work for a collection of Australian urban painting or for someone with a connection to Balmain.
About the artist
Herman Pekel was born in Melbourne in 1956 to Dutch parents. Early experience painting outdoors helped shape his approach to light and atmosphere. He began studying fine art at RMIT in 1981 and is known for oils and watercolours spanning urban scenes, landscapes, interiors and industrial subjects.
