In ‘Daddy Seahorse’, Auguste Blackman pays homage to the seahorse – a creature with a striking silhouette. Poised beside some brightly coloured choral, Blackman’s seahorse is elegant and regal, a jewel for collectors of creatures. It recalls the fish’s unusual biology with the male bearing pregnancy and couples remaining monogamous.

Blackman’s work is informed by a childhood spent among Australia’s most renowned and lively modernists. Whether reflecting on this experience or demonstrating a born passion for painting, he remains a dynamic and rich voice in Australian art.
