painter and sketcher. Dunlop studied at the National Art School from 1954 to 1958.
As well as portraiture, he often incorporates the human figure, or traces of human presence, into his interiors and landscapes.
In 1982 Dunlop explained to Geoffrey de Groen that “you can go on and on with a face. It changes. The light changes, the expression changes, it’s kinetic. a head’s fascinating.”
As a student, Dunlop won the Le Gay Brereton Drawing Prize in 1958. Later honours include being Artist-in-Residence at the University of Melbourne in 1980-81, winning the Sulman Prize for 1980 with his University interior scene The Old Physics Building, and about 100 portrait commissions, including Victoria’s sesquicentenary portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 1984.
