Hans Heysen (An Art Gallery of SA travelling exhibition)

One of Australia’s best-known landscape painters, Hans Heysen (1877–1968) was also one of the most successful during his lifetime. He changed the way we view the Australian landscape, with his distinctive gum trees having now become a part of our national imagery. This travelling exhibition at the National Gallery of Australia celebrates Heysen’s work. 

Art Gallery of Western Australia

Patricia Piccinini- relativity

1 May - 22 August 2010

Patricia Piccinini is one of Australia’s most acclaimed contemporary artists whose startling sculptures examine the connections between science and nature, art and the environment. Audiences are drawn to Piccinini’s sculptures because they appear so real, yet they are creatures of the artist’s imagination developed to consider a strange new world of artificial or mutant beings derived from experimental biotechnology. 

Queensland Art Gallery

Joe Rootsey retrospective 1918 - 1963

17 July - 3 October 2010

This retrospective exhibition celebrates the art of Joe Alamanhthin Rootsey, one of the first Indigenous people in Queensland to be recognised as a contemporary artist. After Rootsey’s works were exhibited at the Cairns Show, the North Australian Monthly promoted him as ‘The Second Namatjira’, and the Department of Native Affairs invited him to attend Central Technical College in Brisbane in 1958. Later that year, the Department exhibited Rootsey’s work at the Royal National Exhibition and the Queensland Aboriginal Creations shop in George Street, Brisbane.
