The White One

1 December: 28 February 2023
Concurrent exhibitions showing in December and in February (note Gallery closed in January) highlighting the work of three artists who deserve to be better known for their contribution to Australian art – Robert Clinch : Life on Earth; Vaughan Murray Griffin : Earth and Beyond; Horace Hurtle Trenerry : Painting the Earth Click here to view Horace Trenerry exhibition Click here to view Robert Clinch exhibition Vaughan Murray Griffin (1903 – 1992) has made a significant, if somewhat underappreciated, contribution to the story of Australian art through his celebrated modernist prints; his landscape painting and his influence as a teacher. This small survey of his works highlights how Griffin looked to nature as his inspiration, as seen in his skilled prints of birds and his atmospheric landscapes. A further consideration in his oeuvre is a spiritual influence giving a dimension beyond the earthly to his art. Download Griffin e-catalogue griffin catalogue image
