Martin Browne Contemporary presents Two Grounds, an exhibition of new work by Ildiko Kovacs. One of Australia’s most respected abstract painters, Kovacs is renowned for images that, whilst grounded in her sense of the Australian landscape, are at the same time personal meditations on her life and emotions.

Alive with energy and movement, the surface of Kovacs’ works are celebrated for their sensual flowing line played against passages of consummate mark-making. Washes of underpainting reveal themselves from beneath layers of colour, while Kovacs’ elegant and bold lines dictate the movement of our gaze across the picture plane.

Exhibition opens: 6­–8pm Thursday 6 February 2020
