Daniel Browning is a keen observer of emerging visual arts talent in Australia. As a widely published critic and long-time presenter of Radio National’s The Art Show, it is his job to be.
In 2015 he came across a small collection of photo transfer paintings by the Japanese-born artist Miho Watanabe. He’d been casually strolling through the studios at UNSW’s School of Art and Design with a faculty-member friend, and was struck by three untitled images depicting a watch, a necktie and a pearl ring. More than just striking examples of an interesting technique, the images reflected Browning’s own state of mind at the time.
