From Saturday December 16 2023 To Sunday 18 February 2024
About
For over four decades, Stuart Elliott has stood as a defining figure in Western Australian visual arts. Known for his work’s intricacy, craftsmanship, and compelling narrative, Elliott continues to define what excellence in the visual arts is as an accomplished painter, sculptor, lecturer, curator, and writer.
His fictive representations present a world perpetually teetering on the brink of peril due to its own endeavours. His creations portray not idyllic rural landscapes but rather a premonition of an imminent industrial wasteland, capturing the essence of contemporary Western Australian civilization.
Ingress features recent paintings and sculptures by Elliott, including his major work, "The Causeway".
Thank you to Liz and Lloyd Horn for supporting the exhibition with the loan of "The Causeway" from their collection.
