About this Exhibition
Australian artist Swallow is best known as a maker of meticulous sculptures that reinvent the still-life tradition on contemporary terms. But he is also a maker of playful and atmospheric watercolours.
Featuring more than 80 works, this exhibition surveys the full range of these ‘atmospheric presentations' – from early science-fiction scenarios and still-life studies through to his recent haunting portraits of members of the Kelly Gang.
