Raymond Arnold was born in Victoria in 1950 and moved to Tasmania in 1983. Under the influence of the island’s natural environment, Raymond developed his career to become a printmaker and painter of international reputation. Today, his legacy to Tasmanian art is already well established and he is a driving force in the discourse around land/art issues within Tasmania.
Raymond’s work reflects the construction of the Tasmania landscape, in particular that of the west coast, his adopted home. He articulates this unique landscape masterfully, introducing viewers to its rugged, compelling beauty and the many vital issues surrounding its past, present and future.
