Wilderness: Balnaves contemporary painting
Art Gallery of New South Wales
Friday 05 March 2010 to Sunday 23 May 2010
This exhibition considers how nature and landscape continue to preoccupy contemporary painters. Not nature based on observation, however, but a realm of vivid imaginary landscapes, creatures both natural and unnatural, and humans who seem to emerge like wood sprites from the forest. The 'wild' here is found in the mind of the artists.
