Getting to know Christopher Vidal
Christopher Vidal is a Sydney-based contemporary realist artist whose work includes Australian landscapes and still life. He studied classical drawing at the School of Arts in Malta and developed his oil painting practice through self-directed study. Before becoming a professional artist, he worked in medical science and research.
Travel and observation inform his landscape painting, with realist and impressionist influences both contributing to his approach. For a collector, the most useful introduction is to spend time with individual works. Notice how a distant range, a patch of water or a change in the sky gives each painting its own character.
Finding a landscape you connect with
Choosing a landscape often begins with recognition. A view might recall a journey, a place you grew up or a part of Australia you hope to visit. That personal connection is worth noticing, but you do not need to have stood in a particular location to appreciate a painting of it.
As you browse, give yourself time to look beyond the name of the place. Where does your eye settle first? Does it stay with a brightly lit cliff, follow the water or move towards the distance? You may find that two paintings of similar subjects feel quite different because of their composition and the time of day they suggest.
Think about the experience you want in your home. A spacious view may appeal in a room where you spend long, quiet evenings. A smaller work with a clear focal point might reward a closer look beside a reading chair. These are starting points rather than rules. The painting you keep returning to deserves your attention, even if it falls outside your original plan.
Make a shortlist before deciding. Comparing a few works side by side can help you identify whether it is the subject, the palette or the arrangement of shapes that matters most to you.
Paintings to explore in the collection
The following works illustrate the range of subjects, sizes and surfaces represented in our Christopher Vidal collection. Follow each link for the current listing, images and availability. Dimensions below are the listed artwork measurements, expressed as width by height; ask about the complete framed dimensions where relevant.
Time Worn Country
Time Worn Country draws on the Flinders Ranges in South Australia. A weathered gum tree and mountain country share the scene with emus, an old vehicle and a homestead. Evening light ties these elements together.
Listed at 120 × 74 cm, with acrylic and oil on aluminium composite panel, this framed work offers a broader format than the other examples here. If you are considering a substantial landscape, it is worth comparing its scale with your available wall space.
After the Rain
After the Rain takes its inspiration from the wetlands of the Northern Territory. Cattle drink at a riverbank beneath a gum tree, with a rainbow appearing in the clearing sky.
The painting is listed as oil on canvas panel, 60 × 45 cm, unframed. For a buyer drawn to water and rural subjects, it provides a useful comparison with the drier country of Time Worn Country. Look at how the balance of trees, open water and sky changes your response.
Tranquil Evening at Garie Beach
Tranquil Evening at Garie Beach centres on a coastal evening, with a fisherman and seagulls included in the scene. It is listed as oil on linen panel, 40 × 30 cm, unframed.
If the coast is your starting point, consider the part played by those small figures as well as the sea. A human presence can give you a different way into a landscape, particularly when you associate the beach with time spent fishing or walking along the shore.
Sunrise on Glasshouse Mnts QLD
Sunrise on Glasshouse Mnts QLD responds to morning light on the rock formations of the Sunshine Coast hinterland. At 20 × 20 cm, this unframed oil painting on aluminium composite material is a compact, square-format option.
It is a useful reminder to check measurements rather than judge size from a screen. A small painting invites a different relationship with the viewer, and may suit a spot where you can enjoy it at close range.
Sydney Harbour Dreams
Sydney Harbour Dreams places a young figure before Sydney Harbour at sunset, with the Opera House and Harbour Bridge in view. The city setting offers a different subject from the bush and coastal landscapes above.
The work is listed as oil on stretched canvas, 60 × 60 cm, with a raw timber floater frame. If you are comparing square paintings, notice how its larger scale differs from the Glasshouse Mountains work. Confirm the frame's outside measurements when planning where it will hang.
Choosing the right size and presentation
Online images make it easy to compare paintings, but they can make very different sizes appear similar. Before choosing, measure the wall and look at it from the places where you normally sit or enter the room. Nearby furniture and doorways will affect how much space feels available.
Mark out the approximate dimensions with removable paper. This gives you a clearer sense of proportion than holding a tape measure against the wall for a moment. Leave room for the frame, and avoid assuming that a listed artwork measurement includes it.
Read the medium and support as well. The examples above include stretched canvas and several kinds of panel or board. They are not interchangeable descriptions, and a work listed as unframed needs a separate conversation about its finished presentation. Ask the gallery what is included with the particular painting you are considering.
Colour deserves a little care too. Screen brightness and settings can affect how an image appears. If a particular colour relationship is important to your decision, raise it with us rather than relying on a single image viewed on your phone.
Buying through Moore Art Gallery
Moore Art Gallery is in Cooroy, in the Noosa Hinterland on Queensland's Sunshine Coast. If you would like to visit the gallery, contact us before travelling to confirm a suitable time and which works are available to view. You can use our online contact page.
Keep your enquiry with Moore Art Gallery so there is a clear point of contact for the painting. Sending the artwork title or a link is the easiest way to make sure we are discussing the same work.
You do not need to know every detail before getting in touch. Tell us what you like about the painting and what you would like to clarify. If you are choosing between two works, explain where they would hang and what is making the decision difficult.
Before proceeding, confirm the current price, availability and what is included. Ask about the frame or any framing still needed, as well as the arrangements and costs relevant to getting the painting to you. For delivery enquiries, include your location and postcode. If you have a particular date in mind, mention it early so timing can be discussed rather than assumed.
For your own records, retain the purchase documentation and the artwork details supplied with the sale. It is helpful to keep the artist's name, title, medium and dimensions together, especially as your collection grows.
