The gallery is thrilled to announce an upcoming solo exhibition with Australian painter Gene A’Hern (b. 1991) opening in August.
At the core of A’Hern’s practice is a deep engagement with drawing. Gestural marks are made with a combination of processes revealing an eruption of recognizable elements from his everyday landscape: mountain peaks, rain, sky, and bushland. Oscillating between abstraction and landscape, portrait and still life painting, A’Hern’s work is arbitrarily engaged in modernist painting yet looks inward to echo a unique pictorial language, as depth and movement reveal a lyrical illustration of place.
We look forward to sharing more soon.
