Luminous World brings together a selection of contemporary paintings, objects and photographs from the Wesfarmers Collection in a conversation about light. Where it falls, how it behaves, what it reveals – the play of light, presence and absence, intensity, quality – interrogations, illuminations.
The exhibition includes works by 50 leading artists, including Brook Andrew, Paddy Bedford, Brian Blanchflower, Timothy Cook, Dale Frank, Rosalie Gascoigne, Bill Henson, Susan Norrie, Elizabeth Nyumi, Fiona Pardington, Michael Riley, David Stephenson, Judy Watson and Nyapanyapa Yunupingu.
The exhibition is accompanied by a 184-page catalogue featuring large-format colour plates of artworks, an introduction by curator Helen Carroll, “Reflections,” a text by artist Bill Henson, “Harmonies” by composer Richard Mills, and “Echoes,” poetry by John Kinsella.
