Shaun Tan brings to Fremantle Arts Centre a collection of never before seen large scale paintings, small oil sketches, drawings, preparatory video work and personal sketchbooks charting the evolution of his career as an artist.
‘Shaun Tan: Suburban Odyssey’ is a presentation of Tan’s carefully observed yet lyrical paintings of Perth Suburbs, as well as a suite of oil studies and drawings that develop characters and narratives which inhabit these vast landscapes.
