Painting the feeling
of being there.
His pictures make me feel like I'm actually present in the work.
Bill Rainey is a contemporary New Zealand painter working in expressive realism. His work draws on lived experience in the mountains and coastal regions of Aotearoa, painted with bold marks, shifting light, and a focus on atmosphere over detail.
His work is about what it feels like to be in the landscape, not just to see it.
