Abstract

Moist is a rare glimpse into the National Gallery of Australia’s extraordinary collection of Australian watercolours. While the title refers to the liquid nature of watercolour, the word ‘moist’ elicits images of an atmospheric, physical or emotional state of being.

This exhibition will bring together a diversity of over 90 remarkable works, from the colonial period to the present: including the extraordinary still life watercolours of Neville Cayley and eX de Medici; the real and imaginary landscapes of Conrad Martens and Rosslynd Piggott; intimate portraits by Georgiana McCrae and Steve Cox; and the abstract compositions of Gunter Christmann and Yvonne Audette.
