Come on a journey ...
Through the artwork of Damien Naughton and Samantha Wortelhock, into a world of colour, irony, humour and refreshing honesty.
Prepare to be touched deeply. Although the work of BreakAway Art is colourful and ‘naive’ in style, the deeper stories of these paintings are powerful and universal. With topics ranging from heaven to earth – and all that’s in between – they are visual stories for our times.
Over the past 18 years Damien and Samantha have become two of Australia’s most popular and collected artists. They started the Mulgara Gallery at Uluru and became regular artists in residence. For ten years their artworks adorned the walls of their gallery ‘Heaven and Earth’ in Sydney’s Queen Victoria Building. The gallery had an international reputation and an annual turnover of nearly a million dollars from Samantha's and Damien’s art alone. In 1998, ‘The Last Supper’ fetched a record Far North Queensland price of $50,000.
Samantha’s signature painting ‘BreakAway’ spawned the artists’ company brand BreakAway Art. Breakaway Art images are available in a range of fine art lithographs and limited edition Giclee canvas prints, hand-touched by the artists to make each one unique.
Visit the Gallery to see the evocative world of Sam and Damien’s images and the stories behind them. About the artists will take you deeper into Sam and Damien’s background and the inspiration for their art and books. About the paintings gives details about the techniques and technology behind the paintings and prints.
