Revive 7

Print of all seven paintings joined together. 
Mark Says 'Darwin can be a stifling place to live in the ‘build up’. Just before the wet season starts, the humidity builds up. You can drench a t-shirt in sweat, just sitting down outdoors. The beaches are a no go zone because of box jellyfish, and crocodiles. The only place to find relief is indoors where there is air conditioning. I watched a lot of movies in Darwin. Just hiding out in the cool cinema. But then there is Litchfield Park. An oasis that is safe to swim in, and as refreshing as it is beautiful. This is the inspiration to this major work I did, called revive. The way that cool water falls seem to revive the body and soul. This is 7 canvas’ that can be joined together as one, or separated around the house or office. This painting is a landmark in my career.'

Revive Set

Original Artwork by renowned Australian Artist Mark Strother. 
 
Canvas size approximately 40cm x 50cm 
Mark says 'I felt inspired to brush some paint on a canvas. I was thinking back to when I was a surfing at Jan Juc about 30 years ago. There was this perfect sandbar that had formed at a place the locals called 'Bensmull'. It was a perfect sunny day not a cloud in the sky. The swell was only about 2 or three feet but straight and breaking perfect with an offshore breeze. There was only three guys out. Myself, Greg Brown of Gash surfboards and Mark Phipps. It was so much fun, and my surfing ability grew by 100% , as I caught wave after wave. When I first heard the term ‘flow state’ I realised that I was in one that day. Word soon got around at how good the bank was, and for the next few weeks that spot got really crowded. I had the joy of having more than enough waves, before the crowds came and it ranks as one of my fondest memories of that part of my life.'

Flow State

Mark says ‘ I will never forget the first time I went to Bells beach. I was a young teen, and the annual Rip Curl Pro competition was on. Rather than pay money to get in, my friends and I walked across paddocks and through some bushland to sneak in for free. We got there just in time for one of the greatest surfing heats of all time ; Mark Occhilupo vs Tom Curren. I couldn’t believe that the larger than life surfers who we had watched videos of over and over again were walking right past us to have their heat. We sat on the cliffs and watched in awe. It was perfect weather. Sunny, about 20 degrees C, and a light breeze. A magical moment in time that I rewatched many times on the surf movies that featured the heat in the future. Bells is an iconic spot for surfers, but also a special place for the First Nation people. The area was known as Wada Wurrung land and was once an Aboriginal meeting ground, where the Wathaurong people would gather to trade.

Bells

I really do respect and admire Kelly Slater. He is older than me by a couple of weeks, and currently ranked 2nd in the world of professional surfers. I followed him on instagram back when instagram was a fairly new thing. He posted this image. I think he was copying a friend or some other famous image. I found it very striking and knew immediately who it was with only one eye visible. I wondered if I could paint this image, and still have enough likeness in it that anyone who looked at it knew who it is. 
 
It currently hangs on my living room wall. The conspiracy theory side of me wonders if this is one of those secret code images for freemasons. The one eye. The triangular bridge structure. Nahh. Kelly is way too busy surfing and making wave pools to worry about any kooky cult, trying to take over the world.

Cradle Mountain

I love the Northern Territory. I lived there for over five years. I worked for the biggest telecommunications company in Australia. Me. The Fisherman. The Surfer. The Dogman. Yet here I was, on a special sales conference. Cruising up one of the most beautiful rivers in the world. Katherine Gorge. I took a photo on my phone. It was a novelty. It was one of the first phones to ever have a camera. But the photo wasn’t enough. I needed to try to capture the moment with paint. Mixing colours. Pigments. Brushes. My grandfather had passed away. I remembered as a child sitting with him. Watching him paint. My aunt gave me his paints. His brushes. His old wooden box he kept them in. I was inspired. This is the first oil painting I ever did.

Katherine

There is something mysterious about the depths of the ocean. What will be found? What creatures? What wrecks? What treasure? A forest of coral? A monster? A mermaid? Turn your wall into a portal looking into the depths of a mysterious ocean.

15 Shades of Grey

Mark says 'The commute home in peak hour can be tedious. Sayers road is a road heading west, into the western suburbs of Melbourne. But there is nothing better than the feeling of knowing you are nearly home. That is the inspiration for this picture. Good feelings knowing I'm nearly home when I see the iconic Bureau of Meteorology tower'
