WHEN Tomas Lineker moved into a new house three years ago, he thought some art on the walls would bring a needed touch of colour inside.<\/p>\n

Deciding he\u2019d have a go at making his own, Lineker discovered a love and talent for painting bold, bright, layered, and abstract still life pieces.<\/p>\n

He got into a habit of practicing when he arrived home from his sales job of a night, and he continues to only pick up his brushes when the daylight hours are done.<\/p>\n

His new exhibition at Soldiers Hill\u2019s Old Butcher\u2019s Shop Gallery is inspired by – and champions – these after-dark creative sessions, aptly named Night Shift<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe paintings are sometimes of flowers, but mainly of flowerpots,\u201d Lineker said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI try and choose colours that really stand out, and that\u2019s the main thing I really like about painting; choosing colours that go together, but aren\u2019t normally put together.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey sort of clash, but they work with each other well. I\u2019m trying to chase that perfect colour scheme.\u201d<\/p>\n

All paintings on display in the Gallery are for sale, from small works to pieces as large as 1.7 metres tall.<\/p>\n

The son of a visual artist, Lineker has independently developed his unique style with much experimentation, and trial and error, while trusting his natural flair and the feedback of the art-lovers in his life.<\/p>\n

He hopes visitors to the Old Butcher\u2019s Shop enjoy his strong use of colour, and the chance to engage with a \u201cform of artwork they haven\u2019t seen before.\u201d<\/p>\n

Night Shift <\/em>runs until the end of January at 112 Seymour Street, Soldiers Hill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
