Dark Swan: Contemporary Tales of the Gothic Antipodes

From the Curator; Kelsey Ashe.

​​

'Something is happening in Australian Art today. We are witnessing the resurgence of ideas that took root centuries ago – a return to passion in art; a return to atmosphere and awe. Historians called it Romanticism; a disposition for melancholic yearning, for communion with nature, for the sublime. Australian artists, in countless numbers, are engaging with these themes again today….’.

Simon Gregg, 2011, ‘The New Romantics, Darkness and Light in Australian Art’.
