This exhibition honours Australia’s premier surrealist in his 88th year. Gleeson has produced a formidable body of drawings and paintings that explore the reaches of his unique imagination.
The exhibition presents a major reassessment the inter-relationship between drawing and painting in his oeuvre. The selected works are primarily from the Art Gallery of New South Wales collection, as well as key loans from private and public collections. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated colour catalogue.
