A McClelland Gallery+Sculpture Park & NETS Victoria touring exhibition

The landscape has been an enduring subject in the history of Australia art and vital to the on-going formation of images of a national identity. Within this tradition Spirit in the Land explores the connection between eleven Australian artists, historical and contemporary, indigenous and non-indigenous, and their special appreciation and engagement to the spiritual ethos and power of the land.

Unearthing shared themes and cultural exchanges this exhibition brings together key paintings and sculptures by some of Australia’s most influential artists, Lorraine Connelly-Northey, John Davis, Russell Drysdale, Rosalie Gascoigne, Emily Kame Kngwarreye, Dorothy Napangardi, Sidney Nolan, John Olsen, Lin Onus, Rover Thomas and Fred Williams. Over 40 works will be drawn from private, state and public gallery collections throughout Australia.

Spirit In The Land was launched at McClelland Gallery + Sculpture Park Sunday from 12 December 2010 until 20 February 2011. It will tour nationally in 2011-12.
