Alesandro Ljubicic, known for his luxuriant use of oil paint and bold hues, unveils a new body of botanic paintings – 25 works on linen and 30 colour studies.
A colour-intensive, physically immersive response to the beauty of nature, ‘The Scent of Painting’ will envelop the viewer in a creative collaboration that brings together the artist; the Sydney-based florist, Mr. Cook; the Brisbane-based perfumer, Damask Perfumery; and the bespoke scarf manufacturer Kmossed, from Edinburgh, Scotland.
Examining the intense beauty of nature, Ljubicic invites the audience on a multi-layered and vivid experience through this constructed ecosystem; each sense engaged by a heady mix of colour, texture and aroma.
