About the Exhibition
The exhibition features works from the TarraWarra Museum of Art collection and selected loans. The exhibition explores the solitary human figure in modern and contemporary Australian paintings and sculptures.
Throughout the exhibition, which includes painting and sculptures by artists Rick Amor, Charles Blackman, Peter Booth, Louise Hearman, Sidney Nolan, Mike Parr, Sally Smart, Albert Tucker, Jenny Watson and many others, the solitary figure appears in different guises and contexts.
Solitaire considers the nature of aloneness and the multiple states of being which it can engender: self-reflection, isolation, melancholy, vulnerability, resilience, and the experience of the sublime.
