The urban landscapes of William Breen transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. Breen is preoccupied with light and its effect on his landscapes.
Having deliberately removed any trace of human life, traffic or debris from his scenes, Breen turns the normally bustling streets of inner city Melbourne into dreamlike landscapes of uncanny quiet. Their stillness and quietude express both moments of significance and the promise of possibility.
