Tony Lloyd‘s new exhibition presents scenes from a twilight drive along the backroads and lost highways of the Gippsland/Bunurong hinterland. These richly monochromatic paintings of semi-rural wilderness, illuminated only by high beam headlights and a faintly glowing sky, depict a realm of tangled tree shadows, glaring roads signs and winding centre lines that dissolve into darkness. In these paintings Lloyd explores the landscape from a driver’s point of view and at night, when you can only see as far as the headlights’ reach, the road takes on an archetypal and metaphorical resonance.
Opening event: Thursday May 8th, 6-8pm
