Bitumen & Dirt – Wayne Eager: 30 Years in the Territory

Developed by Charles Darwin University Art Gallery, this survey exhibition of paintings and prints by Alice Springs-based landscape artist Wayne Eager features 78 works – canvases, prints and works on paper – from public and private collections around Australia, charting Eager’s career since he first arrived in the Northern Territory in 1990. We witness how early observations of the landscape have resulted in a large opus of figurative works in a gestural realist style and Eager’s visual language becoming distinctly abstract. Throughout, Eager maintains his rich colour palette.
