Stuart is one of our top selling Tasmanian Artists. His work has been well received by the public and the wider arts community having been recognised by several significant art prizes and commissions. Stuart’s paintings capture the vast array of moods Tasmania offers on its coastal plains and rugged interior. The East and South West Coast being a particular passion. Awards and Recognition 2008 Glover Prize Finalist 2008 Wrest Point Art Award Recipient of Highly Commended Award 2008 Wrest Point Art Award People’s Choice 2006 People’s Choice The Arts Society of Tasmania Royal Hobart Show Art Exhibition 2003-2008 Regular Exhibition of work at the Tasmanian Shop and Gallery Salamanca Place Review by Joeg Andersch (Art Critic) “Stuart Clues was the man of the moment when Mary Donaldson admired, and indeed ended up owning one of his paintings a few months ago. Producing large contemporary Tasmanian Landscapes, the Artist is almost instantly recognisable from the intense blues in his work. This remarkable colour has captivated a number of young local artists and almost threatens to push aside the familiar green-grey which so typified the Tasmanian environment when used by artists of a previous generation. Clues coastal landscapes echo the less inhabited stretches of our coast, where large expanses of beach, rocky outcrops and breaking water present an idyll we all cherish. It’s no wonder “our Mary” was fascinated by his work”.
