20/20 A Sense of Place

Overview

An expansive new exhibition of the work of more than 50 leading Australian landscape artists from the Mornington Peninsula, Vic, Qld, NSW, WA, NT, the APY Lands, the Pilbara, the Kimberley, the Tiwi Islands & Arnhem Land.

Pivotal in the selection is each artist's deep connection with the land or place they depict. This ranges from Aboriginal in-depth representations of Country to the exploration of rural and coastal region, tropical forests, the bush and the interior by artists from diverse cultural backgrounds. The result is a richly evocative exhibition of the Australian landscape through the work of more than 50 leading artists and 90 + paintings, ochres, works on paper, barks, contemporary jewellery, small sculptures and other 3D works.
