David Hoyt is a Victorian-based artist whose practice encompasses painting, drawing, and ‘wetpoint’ - an experimental approach to mark-making. Often depicting familiar landscape scenes, Hoyt uses his practice to reflect on his connection to place, drawing inspiration from his enduring admiration for the natural world.

In ‘Wannon River Nocturne’, Hoyt creates a monochromatic ‘wetpoint’ interpretation of the Wannon River in Western Victoria. Capturing a small fragment of the landscape, the artist imbues the scene with a sense of tranquility and quietude - nature observed with patience and attentiveness by someone deeply connected to the landscape.

Hoyt has exhibited extensively in group and solo exhibitions across Australia and has been selected as a finalist in several national art prizes, including the Heysen Prize for Landscape, the John Leslie Art Prize, and the Wyndham Art Prize. For collectors drawn to experimental approaches to artmaking, Hoyt’s distinctive ‘wetpoint’ landscapes offer an intriguing and atmospheric discovery.
