During his career spanning 50 years, Australian artist Bernard Ollis has travelled the world visiting the gardens and studios of artists who visualised their love of nature in their own artistic practices. Working primarily as a figurative painter, for ‘The Artist’s Garden’, Ollis presents paintings, which illuminate in vibrant colour and composition his interpretations of the places where artists such as Monet, Matisse, Van Gogh, Australian painter Elisabeth Cummings and many others have created work inspired by their surroundings.
