Exhibit – ‘Below the Canopy’ by Wayne Miles

Below the Canopy brings together a collection of recent paintings that reflect A. Wayne Miles’ enduring connection to the Australian bush.

At the heart of the exhibition is a series inspired by the landscape as experienced from beneath the sheltering canopy—where filtered light, shifting colour and tangled branches create a world that is both intimate and expansive.

These works are not literal depictions of place, but painterly evocations of memory and sensation. Through expressive mark-making, layered colour and gestural abstraction, Miles invites viewers to rediscover the Australian landscape from an uncommon perspective—one shaped as much by recollection as observation. Below the Canopy is an invitation to pause and reconnect with the quiet beauty and enduring presence of the bush.
