Bio

Liam Downes is a New Zealand artist who paints contemporary expressionist art of iconic Auckland and New Zealand landscapes. He has also painted rural scenes, including farm animals, and occasionally does some figurative work.

Favouring an expressionist style of loose, fluid painting, Liam’s NZ landscape paintings are most often of Rangitoto island in Auckland harbour and of areas around Waiheke island. He says he feels entranced by these spaces.

Liam is originally from England and relocated to Auckland City. He studied illustration at university and worked commercially in graphic design. Liam is also inspired by a trip he did to India in 2002 to 2003 where he observed their stunning landscapes and busy social scenes.
