‘Of the Sun’ brings together seven artists from across Australia who work land and sea scapes into performance, painting and installation. The exhibition is a contemplation of our relationship to earth’s natural elements and the role they can play in our personal journeys. In looking to what is powerful and natural these artists share an unbending will to work within the elements, traversing the terrain that will eventually inhabit their work.
To present expanded ideas of painting and process to our audiences in Goulburn, ‘Of the Sun’ connects these artists through the intensity of their collaboration and consultation with their subject, as well as their deftness in working across disciplines. These artists make work that is vibrant, personal and complex. ‘Of the Sun’ shows new commissions and key works from each artist and is a statement on what is happening in contemporary Australian practices, now.
