Bob Abrahams - Artist




Paintings by Bob Abrahams are impressionistic in style. Essentially a tone and atmospheric painter, Bob searches for the light, using creative colour and painterly brushstrokes to enhance the effects. Since retiring from a successful business career in 2000 he has taken a more professional approach, painting most days.

Bob’s interest in art became serious when he completed an Arts Diploma at Perth Technical College while working full time in a demanding business career. As an artist specialising in landscape and still life, he spends much of his time painting from life and on location in and around the city of Perth. He has also made regular painting expeditions to the north west of the state and other regions. Recent works can be viewed from his Resident Artists studio at Ellis House Community Art Centre in Bayswater

Many paintings have been sold through local and regional art galleries, Artisan Gallery Subiaco, Monet Gallery Guildford, The Mill Gallery York and community exhibitions by WA Society of Arts, Riverside Painter’s, Ellis House and other. Successful exhibitions have been held at Dalkeith Dome with Bernice Wright and at the Old George Gallery with Maureen Silc and Panisca Carnaby, and with David Hinchliffe at Ellis House. A growing list of Bob’s painting awards such as the Presidents Selection and Laurie Bennet plein award at WASA and the hundreds of happy art collectors on E-Bay are a good indication of the quality of his work.
