With a nod to the work of Arthur Streeton (1867–1943) – one of Australia’s best-known landscape painters and pioneer of capturing the unique and transient qualities of light in the Australian landscape on canvas – three women artists, Consuelo Cavaniglia, Taree Mackenzie, and Gemma Smith, respond with their interpretations of the South West Victorian landscape, across a range of contemporary mediums.
“Awash with colour, light becomes the mechanism by which each artist creates a space for chance encounters, perceptual shifts and illusions,” the gallery notes.
