Artist Daniel Pata at Artsite  Contemporary

Daniel Pata is a recent finalist in the 2021 AGNSW Wynne Prize, for landscape painting, while his 2021 Dobell entry was selected for the Salon des Refusés, S. H . Ervin Gallery & Travelling exhibition. He has regularly featured in finalist awards including the NSW Parliament Plein Air Painting Prize, AGNSW Dobell Prize for drawing, and the Kedumba Drawing Award, amongst others.

Daniel's paintings explore the extremes of landscape, ranging from coastal environments to arid regions of the outback such as Mutawinjti, the Flinders and Macdonnell Ranges. Much of Daniel´s work is painted directly from the subject, "en plein air". 

Daniel Pata regularly travels on painting trips within Australia and Europe, in particular spending time drawing and painting in France where he has explored aspects of Cézanne´s pictorial elements which have significantly influenced the nature of his work.

I respond to the differences of light, shade and colour giving distinction to various places. Added compositional factors create an alignment with abstract qualities that interest me. ~  Daniel Pata, 2021.

Daniel Pata is represented in major Public Collections in Australia and Internationally, including The Gosford Regional Gallery Collection, NSW; Sturt University, NSW; National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, ACT; St Peters College, Oxford University, UK, and numerous Corporate and Private collections in Australia, Europe, USA.
