From an Island South: Australian Landscape Exhibition
The Australian Embassy and Silpakorn University’s the Faculty of Painting Sculpture and Graphic Arts, will hold an exhibition of Australian contemporary landscapes entitled From an Island South at PSG Art Gallery of the Faculty of Painting Sculpture and Graphic Arts, Silpakorn University, Bangkok from 8 to 27 January 2008.
From an island south is an exhibition featuring the work of prominent Australian artists, Julie Gough, David Keeling, Jonathan Kimberley, Bea Maddock, David Stephenson, Richard Wastell and Philip Wolfhagen. These artists pay tribute to the intense beauty of their homeland by bringing to life Tasmania’s dense forests, dramatic coastlines and rugged mountains.
Although each artist in From an island south is passionate about the Tasmanian landscape, their works are more than representational depictions of a beautiful place. These artists have immersed themselves within the landscape for many years. Although Tasmania is the source upon which each artist’s work thrives, it might also be considered that the environment lives on in their work. They capture elements of a contemporaneous Tasmania and fix it in time, collectively creating a prism of responses from this unique southern island.
The tour of From an island south is supported by the Asialink Centre of the University of Melbourne, the Australia Council for the Arts, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Australia and Devonport Regional Gallery of Tasmania.
PSG Art Gallery, Silpakorn University, Bangkok, opens Monday – Sunday from 10am – 7 pm, and is closed on public holidays. Tel: 02-221 0820, 02-225 8991.
