Over a career spanning six decades, Tim Storrier has cemented his position as a surveyor and custodian of the Australian landscape, focusing on ‘mood, memory and the distillation of time’ in works of unparalleled technical brilliance.¹ The Night Run (Star Trail) is a singular example of Storrier’s nocturnal paintings in which the Australian landscape is reduced to its four most basic elements: land, stars, fire and air; their relationship to one another being infinite.
