Artist Greg Mallyon in collaboration with Manyung Gallery Group and Framed Future architects has designed a site-specific suite of works for the luxury boutique apartment complex of Omaroo. The name Omaroo is derived from the Aboriginal term meaning “beautiful view” and the apartments overlook some of the most stunning scenery on the east coast of Australia.
The brief was to reflect the surrounding landscape and coastline in a series of compatible paintings that could hang together in groups or as solo pieces.
Having lived and studied in Sydney the artist was familiar with the area and has a long association with specific locations including nearby Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park.
Theme 1 The Jewel Sea
This series of works explore the tidal inlets, rockpools and coastal features including the ever changing blues and greens of the water
Theme 2 The Natural Bush
This collection is inspired by the palette of the building itself and natural surfaces used as well as the surrounding eucalyptus forests, sedimentary rock formations and also sacred sites within the national park.
The Artworks
The Omaroo suite consists of square (50 x 50 cm) and rectangular compositions (120 x 50 cm) that can be mixed and matched in different configurations..
They are available for purchase or commission
