WILDER TIMES: Arthur Boyd & the mid-1980s landscape
July 6 – October 13, 2024
Bundanon Trust
In 1984 Arthur Boyd was commissioned to create a series of Shoalhaven landscape paintings for the new Arts Centre Melbourne. In this exhibition, Boyd’s series of fourteen powerful paintings returns to Bundanon for the first time since its creation.
Responding to these paintings, Wilder Times brings together over 60 works by seminal Australian artists from the same time Boyd created this momentous body of work. The exhibition provides a window into a period of cultural dynamism in Australia, when ideas of landscape, land ownership and environmental protection were actively interrogated.
