Four Tasmanian Painters

02 Jul 2009 - 16 Aug 2009

In very different ways these four Tasmanian painters variously articulate their love of place, their fear of the loss of place and their observations on the reality of how we live in the environment. … let’s not think of these paintings as landscapes but instead as observations of the human condition. They scrutinise the various ways we inhabit, and indeed construct, the environments around us. Philip Wolfhagen and David Keeling begin with careful observation of specific places they know well, which they transform, while Tim Burns and Richard Wastell create imaginative (although not necessarily imaginary) places.
