Art of Roscoe

With oil on canvas, artist Roscoe Shelton captures landscapes in a most authentic manner.

Visit The World of the Art of Roscoe

In the relentless, harsh reality of the Australian outback, there are fleeting moments of beauty…. in the morning or the evening, when the light catches a cliff face, it might be the desert clouds or reflections at sunrise or sunset, it might be that transient splash of water or some emerging vegetation after a recent desert sprinkling, this is the World of the Art of Roscoe.

The outback provides reminders that human beings are bit players in the march of geological time. Visit Roscoe’s interpretation of the forces of nature at work, in some of the oldest environments on this planet. The Australian Outback serves as a beacon to reacquaint with our core values and a deeper understanding of the natural world.

The Art of Arkaroola

SALA 2023

Arkaroola Village is featuring 7 of my favourite places from the Arkaroola Wilderness Sanctuary that I have painted over the last couple of years as part of SALA 2023 at Arkaroola.

At Arkaroola, Doug and Vicki put in a great effort to preserve this special place. All the proceeds from this exhibition will contribute to the social enterprise (The Arkaroola Education and Research Foundation) that supports research projects in botany, geology and palaeontology in this unique landscape.

Be inspired, visit Arkaroola, an amazing place.

The Artist

Roscoe is a South Australian artist who captures impression of special Australian landscapes. He has been fortunate to have spent much of his time in the Australian outback, admiring the landscape, geology, and colours.

You might find him on the track somewhere between Adelaide and Darwin, maybe its Karijini or the Gibb, or Arkaroola.

This is where he calls home.

 

An insight to how he thinks, seeking to capture an impression of place, a perception, a personal feeling, one that you get when you enter a landscape.

Explore how to covey that moment.
