Abstraction
by Rebecca Mok
Produced through our Certificate IV in Screen
[More Info]
Dick Watkins is one of Australia’s pioneering Abstract
artists. Throughout his career he has been ridiculed for producing
work described as nothing more than ‘high minded scribble’
yet has been simultaneously hailed as ‘Australia’s
best abstract colour painter’. In 1996 Dick Watkins
became one of the first Australian artists to sign to management,
finding himself in the uncomfortable position whereby critics
became both friend and foe.
An insight into the inner mind of this elusive character explores
the artistic process, his driving influences and includes
stories from those who know him best.

is made stronger through a defiant unity.
