In Review

9th July - 4th August 2005

Autumn Elegy - 1973, Acrylic on Canvas, 161 x 228cm

This artist is regarded as Australia's most prominent Colour Field painter.
“You will see in this exhibition a great deal of reference to landscape and the environment. I am challenged by the colours that can be found in the air, wind and weather, as well as more easily recognizable colours in the tangible world of nature.” David Aspden
