Abstract

Tales of the unexpected includes the work of some of Australia's most engaging artists: Kate Beynon, Robert Boynes, Lyndell Brown & Charles Green, Rosemary Laing, Sally Smart and Anne Wallace. These artists are concerned with implied narratives and dream-spaces, reinventing the world in fantastic and unexpected ways. Across the media of painting, animation, collage, computer manipulated images and photography, works in the exhibition invoke a sense of filmic or theatrical possibilities, inviting journeys of imagination.
