Ernie Gerzabek is a contemporary landscape and abstract painter and sculptor. He was born in Budapest, Hungary and came to Australia in 1958. He started painting in 1970 while practising as a Chartered Architect. Following his retirement in 1997 he started his full time art practice.
He has a very broad range of artistic interests: painting, ceramics and sculpture, and thus cannot be pigeonholed into a single art form or ‘style’.
Inspiration and expression
Ernie's main inspiration is Nature, the unique landscapes of Australia: wilderness areas, wetlands, the unspoilt countryside, deserts and seashores. He is interested in using environmentally friendly approaches and recently started using recycled materials creating bas-relief wall sculptures.
Ernie tends to create playful, decorative and inspiring artworks, which are both optimistic and spiritually uplifting.
Exhibitions, membership and collections
He had more than 22 solo shows since 1999 -- in Sydney, Melbourne and regional New South Wales galleries. He also participated in countless group shows in municipal and commercial galleries and other venues. He is an exhibiting member of Ku-ring-gai, Mosman and North Shore Art Societies.
Apart from Australia, his works can be found in private collections all around the world, including USA, Canada, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Great Britain and other European countries.
