Dual Nature

Pete Finlay’s solo exhibition Dual Nature forms a collection of landscape paintings that meditate on the dual nature of the harbour foreshore – a world of differences defined by the constant change in tide, light and air.

Pete paints the differences between these elements in his diptychs’ heartfelt brushstrokes, demonstrating how both the painting surface and the harbour surface are an expression of life’s inherent duality and fragility.

A Sydney-based painter with a background in art and creative direction, his work is deeply rooted in the discovery and vitality of the natural world. He believes that art has the power to transcend boundaries, offering viewers a unique perspective that allows them to experience the world in new and transformative ways.
