Obituary for the artist Howard Arkley who died in Melbourne on July 22 Outlines his career in terms of the artistic highlights and short personal biography.
Howard Arkley painted with great care and astonishing precision, while he lived with a recklessness that worried the many people who were deeply fond of him. His sadly premature death at 48 highlights the fact that he not only lived fast, he also achieved prodigiously. He had been exhibiting professionally for almost thirty years. He was invariably included in the major surveys of contemporary Australian art, and a retrospective of his work was held at Monash University Gallery in In May this year he went to Venice as the artist representing Australia in the current Biennale.

Riding this wave of success, he then fulfilled his most enthusiastically discussed dream: he crossed the Mojave Desert in a convertible with his partner Alison to get married in the Elvis Presley Chapel in Las Vegas. A week later, back home in Melbourne, Howard died.

Beginning with his collection of flyscreens, his work reflected notions of domesticity (feminism), mass production (popular culture), surface (minimalism),

He came to see no sense in the Australian preoccupation with paintings of the bush, when such a small percentage of the population engages with the bush itself. Henceforth, Melbourne’s suburbs provided the inspiration and setting for his best known works, made over twenty years of experimentation in an immaculately-finished, psychedelic and incandescent airbrush style.
