Howard Arkley, the great Australian painter of suburbia, has a retrospective showing at the Art Gallery of New South Wales from 10 March 2007 to 6 May 2007. I love his use of colour and strong outline, and the way he fashions the ordinary into something quite amazing. Well worth checking out. [more about Howard Arkley]

Pleased to hear it Mimi. He’s a talented artist, but it seems that there isn’t a lot of information readily available on him, so glad that you could skim some from Lost At E Minor.

dig Tuesday 14 August 2007
yeah wicked site u got here, love howard arkley and his look on life, mad bloke would have loved to meet him before he died
ella Thursday 30 August 2007
guys, why would you have to write about Arkley before he started painting for an art assignment? An art assignment should focus on his ART.. as a biography assignment, however, it would be interesting.
Kirst Sunday 2 September 2007
Because, Ella, they may be doing assignments similar to mine where they are required to write an article on the exhibition and on the man him self- and not just the works.
lozzz Thursday 20 September 2007

just commenting on how amazing artist howard arkley is. im an artist myself and paint from the influences of my artistic upbringing, roy lichenstien, warhol, and most recently howard arkley. his perception of more architechural popart is fantastic.he is basically a formalist artist — who actually believe sin painting. Color’s an observed thing, but it’s only observed in a different context, one of which he has charactized beautifully. cheers!
Megannnnn. x. Tuesday 19 February 2008
im trying to find a picture of howard’s canvas titled “suparoom”
my art teacher is nuts, so i dont know if it even exsists seeing as i cant even find a picture of it…
gah! but if you know where i can get one from,
SOON that’d be GREAT (:
btw, wht is the point of this website??
no affence, but it isnt that helpful.
GAH!
Bec Tuesday 22 July 2008
Hey!…
Ironic that my wicked cool art teacher told us to research Howard Arkley aswell. HeHe
Personally i love his work! It’s so visionary and unrealistic in a sense that it is realisic. He was an amazing artist. X
