After the Fire, Tanilba Bay – Limited Edition Framed Print

After the Fire, Tanilba Bay – Limited Edition Framed Print

Scarred, weathered, and quietly powerful, After the Fire, Tanilba Bay is a contemplative study of resilience captured by Australian landscape artist Robert Vine at Tanilba Bay, Port Stephens. This black and white image draws the viewer into the intimate textures of a burnt tree, where charred grain and layered fibres form an abstract, almost painterly surface.

Stripped of colour, the photograph becomes a meditation on form, light, and time. The flowing lines and fractured surfaces reveal both destruction and survival—nature’s ability to endure, transform, and persist. What at first appears purely abstract slowly resolves into the story of a landscape marked by fire and shaped by years of exposure.

Printed to exhibition standards and presented as a limited edition, each framed artwork is crafted to honour the detail and tonal depth of the original photograph. This piece sits comfortably in contemporary, minimalist, or curated gallery spaces, offering a quiet but compelling presence on the wall.

Rob's Thoughts

"I had just completed the Air Warfare Instructor course - the Australia Air Force version of Top Gun. The course had been the hardest thing I had ever done and I still hadn't been able to decompress after 6 months of hard work. I had taken hardly any photos so I braved the cold, winter water of Shoal Bay at sunrise. I knew that photographing this beach would be good for my soul - a little way to regain normality before I headed off overseas for a few weeks and then came back for another 3 weeks of air combat exercises."
