Dallas Bromley’s passion for the sea fuels her art, with the shimmering light over the water integral to her work. She is inspired by the location of her Sydney studio, perched on a cliff by the sea. From there she can observe the water from morning until night in its many guises and moods, which she captures with startling intensity.
Dallas Bromley was born in Sydney in 1961 of French and English origins. She studied art in Sydney and upon graduation in 1980 worked as an Art Director and Artist concurrently as well as being an avid traveller. By 1998 she was painting full time.
Bromley and writer Grant Wolf explored the harmony between writing and painting. Wolf says these works “exude modern mythology, rich with strong, contrasting sexy tones”. Wolf is writing a script for an international feature film in which Bromley’s works will play a pivotal role in the storyline.
Bromley’s work reflects the experiences of one who has travelled broadly, through many cultures and the streets in many towns. In 2000, she spent time in Paris to appreciate that part of her ancestry and immerse herself in the diverse creativity of the culture .She explores the interplay of light and shadow on the shores of countless coasts, tranquil and fierce.
Bromley has had more than 60 exhibitions in Australia and overseas. During 2002-2003 she exhibited in Sydney, Melbourne, Hong Kong, Fiji and New York, and won the International Art Contest 2002 for Modern Art. In 2004, solo exhibitions were in Hong Kong and Sydney, and in 2005 her works were on show in Australia, London, Hong Kong and the US. Dallas was a finalist for the Sulman Prize, 2008. Her paintings are in private collections in Australia, Asia, Fiji, Japan, the UK and US.
