A Street Scene in Oils with Hiren Patel
Tuesday, 9th June 2026
PLEASE NOTE VENUE: Hawkesbury Skills in Richmond
Just a reminder to everyone that we will be having our monthly demonstration meeting tonight, Tuesday 9th June 2026, at 7:30 pm.
PLEASE NOTE: There is a CHANGE OF VENUE for this Demonstration Meeting. It will be held at:
Hawkesbury Skills Centre, 23 Bosworth Street, Richmond, NSW 2753.
Hiren will demonstrate A Street Scene Painted in Oil Paints.
Hiren says: “I will discuss concepts and techniques of abstraction in representational work, to arrive at loose brushwork with atmospheric effects to show mood and expression with details rather than detailed accuracy.”
Both members and non-members are welcome to join our meetings to view an inspirational artist at work each month, as well as the opportunity to enjoy networking with like-minded art enthusiasts.
Cost is $5 at the door. Supper is provided.
There is on site parking at the Hawkesbury Skills Center, please drive in to access and street parking is available as well.
About Hiren Patel:
Hiren Patel was born in India and now based in Sydney. He studied and worked as an Engineer. A visit to the Art Gallery of New South Wales marked a turning point in his life when he started to have a deep interest in art which led him to begin studying painting.
Hiren captures the emotional weight of urban and rural landscapes through a vivid interplay of light and mood using oil paint as his medium. His recent urban vistas offer a deeply personal look into his travels across both countries. Influenced by Australian impressionists and modern art, Hiren translates scenes into visual poetry, utilising field sketches, memory, and photographs to build richly layered colours and textures.
Hiren is an Associate of The Royal Art Society and has won many first prize awards in art shows including the Lloyd Rees Art Prize, Joshua Smith Art Prize and The Hawkesbury Art Prize. He has also been awarded many ‘best in category’ in Sydney art competitions.
