David Bromley (Australia), art

Born in Sheffield, England in 1960, David Bromley immigrated with his family to Australia at the age of thirteen. He began his career as an illustrator and comic strip artist. Bromley’s art is characterized by bold colors, high texture brushwork, and graphic intention, often featuring gold and silver leaf overlays.

He draws inspiration from childhood books and pop culture artists such as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. His most famous series are 'Female Nudes' and 'Boy’s Own', combining contemporary views of femininity with the tradition of portraiture and showcasing the excitement and adventure of childhood, respectively.

Bromley has been a finalist for the Archibald Prize five times and has held over 30 national solo exhibitions, with his works appearing in galleries around the world.
