About The Artwork

Martinstor – Martin’s Gate – is a former fortification on Kaiser Joseph Straße in the city of Freiburg-im-Breisgau, Germany. It is the older of two gates in Freiburg, the other being Schwabentor. The first documentary evidence in 1238 names it Porta Sancti Martini (Latin for Gate of the Holy Martin). In 1901, the city council increased the tower height from 22 metres to 60 metres and gave it a new roof in the style of the 15th century. A second arch in 1901 allowed the second tram line to pass through. McDonald’s occupies the floors above this arch, but the council denied them a “Golden Arches”. However, one can perceive a more demure “McDonald’s” sign just above the arch. Dai Wynn drew this freehand sketch in ink on Arches paper. He then painted it in watercolours, given the abundance of colour in the original image. He used a reference photo he took in this beautiful city in the Sudschwartzwald – southern Black Forest. 29.7cm high by 42cm wide by 0.1cm deep.

Born in and lives in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. He depicts European, North American, New Zealand and Australian landscapes and seascapes in oils, watercolours and black ink sketches. He also paints portraits on commission. Dai is passionate about quality rather than quantity when it comes to producing fine art works. He believes in careful draftsmanship as the basis for his artworks. Artistic merit is the product of inspiration, dedication and time. In his 1897 book What is Art?, Leo Tolstoy said 'Art is not a handicraft, it is the transmission of feeling the artist has experienced.' Dai couldn't agree more. Painting "en plein air" while briefly visiting a busy European tourist hotspot is impractical, so Dai happily relives the feelings experienced while he creates an artwork in his studio in Australia, guided by reference photographs he took while abroad. This is a virtual immersion in a carefully selected original experience, over an extended time, in comfort and without the distraction of crowds, weather, etcetera. And the bonus is being able to leisurely appreciate the scene in far more detail than during the original visit. It is to be hoped that Dai can successfully transmit these feelings to his viewers. Dai's artworks are in private collections in Australia, USA, Canada, China, England, France, Portugal and Spain. www.daiwynn.art www.daiorama.com.au
