About Tim Storrier

Tim Storrier (born 1949) is an Australian painter, sculptor, and printmaker recognized for his sustained exploration of elemental forces — fire, earth, water, and sky — in large-scale canvases and sculptural works. Active since the late twentieth century, Storrier has built a distinctive practice that merges landscape tradition with surreal, atmospheric imagery, often centered on burning objects, horizons, and nocturnal scenes. He was awarded the 2017 Doug Moran National Portrait Prize for The Lunar Savant, a portrait of fellow artist McLean Edwards, and has been appointed a Member of the Order of Australia (AM). His work is held in major Australian public collections and continues to be exhibited internationally. Collectors encounter Storrier's paintings at auction and through gallery representation, where his elemental themes and technical command of light and scale attract sustained attention.

Common works and media

Storrier's output spans oil and acrylic paintings on canvas and linen, limited-edition prints, bronze sculptures, and artist books. His best-known paintings depict flaming objects in vast, often barren landscapes — burning ropes, incendiary lines, and fiery horizons rendered with meticulous surface detail. Sculptural works include bronze editions. Prints are issued in numbered editions and are widely available at auction. Portrait works also form part of his practice, evidenced by his 2017 Doug Moran Prize-winning painting.

Market and appraisal context

Storrier's auction market centers on Australian and international post-war and contemporary art sales. His large-scale oil paintings — especially those from the Fire and Sky thematic series — tend to be the most sought-after lots. The artist also produces editioned prints and bronze sculptures, which appear more frequently at auction and generally trade at lower price points than unique paintings. Factors affecting appraisal include the work's medium, dimensions, thematic series, provenance, exhibition history, condition, and documented comparable sales. Collectors should verify authenticity through catalogue references or gallery records, as Storrier's established print editions require careful differentiation from unique works.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Value drivers

  1. Medium and scale: large canvases and unique paintings generally command higher prices than prints or works on paper
  2. Series or thematic period: works from the artist's elemental series (Fire, Earth, Water, Sky) may carry distinct collector interest
  3. Provenance and exhibition history: works with documented gallery or institutional exhibition records may affect appraisal value
  4. Condition and authenticity verification

Appraisal caveats

  • The source pack does not include specific auction-house records or realized price data; appraisal should reference current comparable sales databases for pricing context.
  • Storrier works across multiple media; prints and multiples may trade at significantly different price points than unique paintings or sculptures.
