Art of Roscoe – Arkaroola
There is no better place than Arkaroola to harness an inquisitive mind, an opportunity to be reacquainted with one’s core values and to reach an understanding of what the natural offers.
It has been an area of personal reflection for Roscoe originating in the late 1960’s, starting from a visit during an Easter recess during his university days and continued with many walking trips through the nearby Mawson Plateau and the Gammon Ranges and now, of course, for inspiration for his paintings.
Roscoe seeks an “authentic depiction” of an “authentic landscape” to bring that understanding of the power and influence of nature to the interested audience. The interaction of spectacular rugged ranges, gorges with waterholes and their quiet reflections created by powerful but irregular rainstorms, provide a natural palate for Roscoe’s art.
