Roland Nancarrow captures the colours and forms of our tropical paradise through all of his works of art. A respected peer in our community of artists, he has established himself as a sculptor, painter and in recent years a public artist through numerous commissions throughout Queensland and has an ongoing demand for solo exhibitions.
Roland has had a connection with Cairns for 37 years, after being posted here as a young bank officer. Well known as a sculptor and public artist this exhibition is primarily a ‘painted’ look at his adopted hometown.
The title ‘101 Views of Cairns’ was not literal, however given that the series could be viewed as a progression, like the many thoughts one may have about Cairns as it is not always the paradise the glossy brochures would have us believe. The exhibition captured many views from the past four decades.
