Sky Jasper Mooney

Sky Jasper Mooney is a painter living in the Tuntable Falls valley outside of Nimbin, NSW. In 2012 he completed a Diploma of Visual Art from the Swinburne University of Technology and in 2015 he graduated from a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Victorian College of the Arts. 

Sky’s painting practice takes inspiration directly from his observed surroundings, drawing influence from traditional methods of painting and pushing boundaries into abstraction, with a focus on line, tone and value. His works are the results of seeing, focusing on the visible, visual world, where every mark is a reference to something witnessed. Painting becomes an avenue on which to experience life as it happens and watch it unfold. 

This series of bold landscapes captures the Nightcap National Park two and a half years after the area received extensive damages from bushfires. For this body of work Sky has used a simplified pallet of Raw Umber, Ultramarine Blue, Burnt Sienna, Cadmium Yellow and Titanium White.
