Established in 2009, Fitzroy Painting is an artist-led independent art school located in Brunswick Street, Fitzroy. The studio provides an inspiring environment for students of all levels to learn new skills, develop their practice, and be part of a supportive painting community. Our tutors are all professional practising artists who believe in sharing their skills and knowledge with their students and supporting them in developing their painting practice.
Artists' subject matter covers a wide range of interests including personal memory, nostalgia, family, travel, nature, landscape and still life. Collectively they share a strong passion for painting and supporting each other's creative endeavours.
The students exhibiting in this exhibition have been attending classes at Fitzroy Painting for many years, are dedicated oil painters, and are representative of the vast cross-section of the Fitzroy Painting community.
This exhibition is particularly significant after two years of lockdowns and no studio access. For many it is the first time the painters have each been able to resume their painting practice and produce a body of work to take part in this exhibition.
