Noteable Australian Landscape and Figurative artist
WERNER FILIPICH
ARTWORK HISTORY:
Our family is very much into "the Arts" in all it's forms, from music to art to chinaware and even classic old (quality) technology!
Our focus has always been landscapes, both Australian and New Zealand but over the years we also have collected some other "interesting" pieces of art that will be seeking new homes as well.
Back in the 1990's we purchased a number of Werner's paintings from a Sydney dealer, one has already "left home" (Eroded Turon River Banks), another is waiting for a new home and now it is time for this painting (our last Filipich) to also find a new home.
Our walls are becoming overcrowded with artworks and although we love just about every painting we have, it's time to put up some new acquisitions so many of our collection must now find new homes to love and cherish them.
This is NOT a gallery, it is our private home and no-one is permitted to just drop by and take a lot around!
WERNER FILIPICH:
Emigrated to Australia from Austria in the 1950. Werner has not only been a professional artist for over 50 years, he also represented Australia in the World Surfing Championships and was very active in the hairdressing industry. His passion for Australia shows in every painting he creates, the subjects initially being coastal and rural scenes but since those earlier days he has also moved into using figures in his artworks, particularly beach scenes.
Werner and his artworks have received many many awards over the years and he is still actively creating beautiful art for us all to enjoy.
His works are very well considered, adorning the walls of private homes, art galleries and corporate offices in Australia and overseas. His works have been included in all five editions of Kevin Hill’s “TOP TEN” Australian Artists.
You can view some other beautiful artistic creations from Werner HERE and you will also notice that this artwork is being offered at a considerably lower price than those on offer in the art market at the moment. Not only are Werner's artworks a joy to own and view, they make a good investment choice as well (we paid much more for this painting originally in the 1990's)
WERNER FILIPICH - Unknown Title (!)
Werner Filipich's art is always identified and often dated by using a rectangular paper label attached to the rear of the frame. Well as luck would have it, the label has fallen off and become lost! You can still see the outline of where it used to be.
It really didn't matter for us, its the art that matters most - so reminiscent of our younger days walking on the farms, those lovely dusty dirt roads and the general parched landscape - drought time in the bush! Although we complained about the heat in those days, it was far better than this constant rain that is being experienced recently - bring back the sun!
The locality is NSW and the areas it reminded us of are just across the Blue Mountains from Sydney.
