About this item

JOHN BAIRD
Cutter
oil and acrylic on board
28 x 33 cm (framed)

Working across painting, collage and sculpture, Melbourne-based artist John Baird has developed a unique aesthetic, exploring how Sydney Harbour has become a symbolic and iconic expression of Australian identity. Serene sailboats, landmarks and still seas rendered in steely indigos, seaweed greens and icy greys conjure a sweeping tranquillity that transports the viewer to a moment of stillness – be it the calm of the ubiquitous Australian coast or a quiet content within their own internal landscape.

Baird has participated in numerous solo and group shows around Australia, and his work is held in major national collections including the National Gallery of Victoria, Castlemaine Art Gallery and Historical Museum, Artbank and Bell Potter Group, as well as international and national corporate and private collections.

John Baird has chosen to donate 100% of the proceeds from this work to the NSW RSF - Firefighter Samuel McPaul Family.

Volunteer firefighter Samuel McPaul, a member of Morven Rural Fire Brigade, was tragically killed while on duty at the Green Valley fireground east of Albury NSW. Samuel leaves behind a loving wife, Megan, who is pregnant with their first child, due in May. The NSW RFS has created a dedicated bank account to collect donations. All funds received will be distributed to Samuel’s wife, Megan, to provide for their baby’s future.
