Oil on canvas, 76cm x 102cm
Provenance: Scott Livesey Galleries, Melbourne.
In 1974 Ron Francis moved to Melbourne where he exhibited with Profile Gallery and later with MCA (Melbourne Contemporary Art Gallery). In the late 1980s, he began painting his signature trompe-l'œil murals in affiliation with a company called 'Fresco Site Specific Art’. He moved to South Australia in 1991 and continued to paint his trompe l'oeil murals until 2005 when, motivated by illness, he stopped taking commissions and returned to exhibiting fine art. (1)
