A few years ago a local farmer decided to get rid of the blackberry bushes on his farm. When he did he came across a forgotten french gun emplacement. Aimed not at the enemy lines in front but across the sea to the Asian side. This is the third time I've painted any of these guns and the second time I've painted this particular gun. The first[...]
A few years ago a local farmer decided to get rid of the blackberry bushes on his farm. When he did he came across a forgotten french gun emplacement. Aimed not at the enemy lines in front but across the sea to the Asian side. This is the third time I've painted any of these guns and the second time I've painted this particular gun. The first time I did paint this gun I entered it in the prestigious Gallipoli Art prize in Sydney Australia. The painting made the final selection.

Craig Roach or more commonly known as Roachie, has wandered the secluded and stunningly beautiful WW1 battlefield of Gallipoli for thirty years. In that time he has seen nature slowly taking back the scars and tragedies of war. Roachie, has always been an avid artist and has passionately devoted his life on creating an artistic legacy of this tragic but beautiful place.

The hills, gullies, old trenches and beaches are littered with the remains of WW1. A hundred years on and there is now an artistic marriage between man and nature.

If you'd like to visit this place then Roachie will take you off the beaten track, show you the best place to paint, draw, sit in solitude and maybe share a bottle of wine. You can check out my exploits if you search for The Gallipoli Artist, on the web or Facebook.

See you there,
