Howard Arkley

Howard Arkley (1951 - 1999) was active/lived in Australia.  Howard Arkley is known for Painting.

Howard Arkley may have made his mark via his suburban exteriors and interiors, however he would have been unable to do so without his solid grounding in such abstract textural works from the early 1980s as Leaves and Flowers, 1981. That Arkley was a superlative abstractionist is beyond dispute. 

Although he has placed his organic detritus here within the format of a solid grid formation, the leaves and flowers of his subject zone seem to shift and shimmy on an autumn wind.  It is as though here he has captured the chaos of nature through a mathematical prism.  Movement is primary, the sense of swirling rhythm that captures the viewer's eye.
