Contemporary coastal landscape paintings by Bruce Daniel.

Coastal Exposure is an exhibition of contemporary landscape paintings which explore the jagged coastal edge of our continent where the crust is exposed by the sea. In this series, Bruce Daniel’s aim is to connect with the spiritual power of landscape. These paintings are primarily inspired by the coast of NSW, which contains some of the oldest known geological formations on earth. Following on from Daniel’s 2020 solo show Yunta Landscapes, which featured the vast landscapes and ancient rock formations of the South Australian outback, the coastal landscapes in Coastal Exposure are vastly different from but intrinsically connected to the outback, in both a physical and spiritual sense.

This exhibition is celebrating World Environment Day. This year, Willoughby's art spaces focus on the coastal landscape within Willoughby City and along the coast of NSW. Please see our other exhibition, Water's Edge, at Incinerator Art Space.
