The Art of Existence

Les Kossatz's career as an exhibiting artist can be traced back to as early as 1963. As a sculptor, painter, printmaker, glass-artist and creator of extraordinary ideas and events, Les Kossatz has occupied a unique position within Australia's art world for more than 40 years. Early recognition of his striking paintings of flags and other Pop Art images was followed in the 1970s by his remarkable sculptures of sheep caught in peculiar predicaments that echoed aspects of the universal human condition. He then went on to complete major sculpture commissions such as The Eternal Flame at the War Memorial in Canberra. He also contributed to the development of Australian sculpture through his teaching roles at RMIT and Monash Universities. This significant, richly illustrated monograph is published to coincide with a major retrospective of the artist's work curated by Zara Stanhope for Heide Museum of Modern Art in November 2008. A particularly interesting feature of the book is the illustrated biography compiled by Diana Gribble. It completes an all-together intriguing account of an artist's journey to this point in time.

Necessary Distraction

A Painting Show

By: Auckland Art Gallery

Discover a new vigour in recent New Zealand painting in this ambitious multi-artist exhibition. Responding to the question 'What can painting offer that other art forms cannot?', the artworks selected and commissioned for this survey share a focus on material and form, and are deliberately open ended. Through suggestion and proposition, the artists invite us into conversations that, rather than being constrained by the ties of narrative painting, are speculative and forward-looking. Experience diverse work by 20 established and emerging painters and witness a future for painting that's still in the making."--Publisher description.

Arthur Boyd

An Active Witness

By: Zara Stanhope

The focus of this exhibition catalogue is on the life and work of the significant Australian artist Arthur Boyd, internationally recognised and a central figure in the formation of Australian art history. His work will be shown alongside that of his contemporaries, such as Nolan and Blackman, whose work has shaped the identity of Australian culture. The exhibition suggests a renewed contemporary relevance in Boyd’s artwork, enlarging our understanding of his contribution as an artist and locating him as an individual engaged in the urgent issues of his time – many of which remain salient today, especially for regional and remote audiences. Over seven decades of his life Boyd felt it his social responsibility to express opposition to social inequities, discrimination, environmental destruction, human suffering, industrialisation, commercial greed, authority and the madness of war. The exhibition includes the work of a wide range of significant modern Australian artists including: Arthur Boyd, Yvonne Boyd, David Boyd, Sidney Nolan, Charles Blackman, Leonard French and Joy Hester.
