Prominent Sydney artist Peter Sharp is well known for his large abstract works of the Australian landscape. But what is less well known are the paintings he based his larger works on.
Manly Art Gallery & Museum (MAG&M), in a new exhibition Peter Sharp: Accidental Tourist (25 June to 1 August), is pleased to present 40 of Sharp’s en plein air paintings (created outdoors) over the past 30 years, especially selected from his practice.
These quick studies painted on boards reflect the artist’s travels around regional and remote Australia and have become part of his ‘toolkit’ for larger abstract works.
In 2021, the National Gallery of Victoria will present
She-Oak and Sunlight: Australian Impressionism, a large-scale exhibition of 270 artworks drawn from major public and private collections around Australia including the NGV Collection. Featuring some of the most widely recognisable and celebrated works by Tom Roberts, Frederick McCubbin, Jane Sutherland, Arthur Streeton, Charles Conder, Clara Southern, John Russell and E Phillips Fox, as well as bringing to light works by Iso Rae, May Vale, Jane Price and Ina Gregory, the exhibition will present these works in new and surprising contexts by exploring the impact of personal relationships, international influences and the importance of place on the trajectory of the movement.
