Abstract

A collection of 26 works from the artists in the Czech Republic and 26 paintings and sculpture by artists living in Australia. A common thread that runs through the exhibition is the way both the Czech and Australian artists are returning to look at the landscape and the figure. The exhibition aims to initiate a dialogue between Czech artists and their Australian contemporaries. These connections have been encouraged by the Czech group Konfese and the Australian sculptor Errol Davis, curator of the Macquarie University Sculpture Park. The exhibition has been curated by a young Australian sculptor, Linda Klarfeld, who this year completed a monumental sculpture, the Twelve Stations of the Cross, at Macquarie Park Cemetry. Her figurative works are included in the exhibition. [Gallery media]
