Rick Amor is among Australia’s most collectible artists. Best known for his psychologically incisive landscapes and atmospheric scenes of everyday life, Amor’s 1984 oil painting ‘Bush Flowers’ signals a departure from his signature architectural focus. Using rich tonal variation and layered brushwork, this still life painting is emotionally evocative, a testament to Amor’s ability to transform a classical subject with his distinct artistic voice.

In a review for Amor’s exhibition at the Heide Museum of Modern Art, Sebastian Smee wrote that he is singular: “there is nobody really like him and important… his commitment unmistakable, his intelligence, acute and his best images impossible to forget.”

Amor has been the subject of numerous public exhibitions at the Art Gallery of South Australia, the National Portrait Gallery, Castlemaine Art Gallery and Australian Print Workshop. In 1999, he was appointed the official war artist and is the subject of two major monographs. For collectors of paintings, contemporary and still lifes, Amor is a striking find.
