Daniel Rivers first showcased his work at The Corner Store Gallery in 2022 as a finalist for Inside This Box. I've been a fan of his style ever since and was thrilled when he agreed to hold his first solo exhibition with us this year.

Daniel possesses a unique talent for composition and colour. Using soft pastels, his landscapes and suburban scenes exude an ethereal quality. His eye for portraying light over the course of a day or throughout the seasons is magnificent.

I recently visited Daniel in his sun-drenched home in Thirroul just before he packed up and moved to the Newcastle area. Under Sandstone Skies is Daniel’s first solo exhibition, showcasing his deep affection for the landscape surrounding Thirroul on the South Coast. It is an ode to the scenery that has surrounded his home for the past seven years.
