Robert Brownhall

Robert Brownhall (b.1968, Brisbane) is a realist painter, inspired by his local environment of South-East Queensland. Over nearly thirty years of painting, Brownhall has developed a unique style characterised by a strong connection to place with his moody nocturnes, broad sweeping panoramas and gritty vignettes of urban life.

Studying under William Robinson, Brownhall completed a Bachelor of Arts (Visual Arts) at Queensland University of Technology from 1987-89. Brownhall has held regular solo exhibitions since 1991, and in 2011 had a survey of his work, Somewhere in the City: Urban Narrative by Robert Brownhall curated by Museum of Brisbane.

Brownhall is represented by Philip Bacon Galleries and his work is held in a number of institutional collections including Queensland Art Gallery|Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane; Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney; Museum of Brisbane, Brisbane; QUT Galleries and Museums, Brisbane; Home of the Arts, Gold Coast; and the Federal Court of Australia, Canberra.
