Rick Amor 'Election '80' mid century modernismRick Amor is among Australias most collectible artists. Best known for his psychologically incisive landscapes and atmospheric scenes of everyday life, Amor found his artistic beginnings in the world of political cartoons, working for several publications including Overland, where he was on the board until 1998.

'Vase with Flora' is a sumptuous ode to gum tree blossoms
They were derived from the Yugoslavian newspaper ‘Novosti’ and appear here overlaid with reversed stencils of Dobrilla’s Sebrian grandmother’s doilies

this work is as perfect as a summer’s day

a figure pole vaults over a wire fence
strollers and the ones you love

stimuli and ideas that constitute the ocean
Kingston records his life through art
