Biography
Born in 1958 in New Zealand, Rod Holdaway settled in Sydney in 1975. Holdaway studied an Art Certificate majoring in printmaking and photography at Meadowbank TAFE in 1977. He then studied painting and sculpture in the Bachelor of Fine Arts program at the Adelaide College of Advanced Education and in 1989 Holdaway studied philosophy and linear perspective in Italian Renaissance in the Bachelor of Arts Programs at Deakin University. In 1995 he graduated with a Bachelor of Education from the Australian Catholic University and in the same year he was awarded a Certificate of Learning Difficulties from the University of New South Wales. Holdaway’s paintings are poetically expressionistic. He captures the mood of the urban environment, in particular the inner Sydney suburb of Newtown. Holdaway’s paintings combine a fast, yet gentle, vision of urban life to encapsulate the ambiance of city living through an applied jungle of pigment. Holdaway has exhibited in several group exhibitions in Sydney and Adelaide and is represented in private collections in Australia, New Zealand, Germany and Ireland.
