Danny Bickmore (b. 1979)

Danny was born in 1979, and has lived in Gympie, the hinterland of the Sunshine Coast, Queensland in Australia for most of his adult life. He has been painting and drawing prolifically for over 25 years. He is represented by Cathy Condon Gallery.
Danny focuses most of his artistic practice on his love of the Central Australian landscape, the place he grew up in his formative years. Danny was born in Alice Springs and lived on a cattle station 20 kms from Alice Springs for the first few years of his life. Danny enjoyed travelling around the station in the stock camps fixing bores with his parents. Danny and his family visit the Northern Territory every few years to spend time in the place they all regard as special.
The impressions of the spectacular mountain ranges and countryside continue to be the subject of his paintings and drawings. Danny renders the unique rock formations such as Devils Marbles and Uluru with finesse and sensitivity, bringing the heart of Australia to life. He captures the essence of the outback in the drawings, using pastel and pencil on large scale watercolour paper or acrylic on canvas. Danny mostly
paints with acrylic on canvas to capture his favourite subjects.
Danny held his first solo exhibition at Gympie Regional Gallery in 2022, a very successful show. Although he has shown in many group exhibitions previously at the Gympie Gallery, this showcase encompassed
His greatest body of works to date with 28 paintings and 100 drawings. Danny sold most of his works.
Danny derives immense joy from his art, his works feature gestural brushstrokes, a vibrant palette and a sensitive grasp of his subject matter - landscapes of Australian flora and fauna. Danny’s works evoke a sensory experience and can be found in private collections throughout Australia and in Washington D.C, Chicago, Miami Fl, New York City and London.
