Kylie Elkington

Bundanon Paintings & Other Recent Works

18th August - 7th September

 

Kylie Elkington's latest exhibition includes paintings from a recent residency at Bundanon, the Boyd property on the Shoalhaven River, NSW, bequeathed to the nation in 1993.

 

Elkington’s immediate love of the Bundanon landscape and ongoing passion for depicting isolated regions of Australia is very much in evidence here. The patient and rhythmic shifts of the moods and colours of various locations, featuring the monastic and timeless grace of waterfalls, mountains and other natural phenomena all find their equivalence in carefully composed paintings.
