As global unrest reaches unprecedented levels, the art world appears to be gravitating towards works that exude a profound sense of stillness and tranquillity—perhaps as a way to offer solace in these turbulent times.
Arriving Slowly delves into a journey of connection with art on a deeper, emotional level while exploring aspirations towards the sublime in Abstraction.
Viewers are invited to take their time, immersing themselves in the works to uncover the profound possibilities and meanings that unfold through slow, deliberate observation.
Arriving Slowly is an Ipswich Art Gallery exhibition featuring contemporary abstract works by 20 artists, including Yuriyal Eric Bridgeman, Consuelo Cavaniglia, D Harding, Lindy Lee, Hilarie Mais, Jonny Niesche, Rosslynd Piggott, Sandra Selig, and more.
The exhibition has been programmed to launch with the loan of works by Mark Rothko (1903-1970), Agnes Martin (1912-2004) and Gwyn Hanssen-Pigott (1935-2013) offered through the National Gallery of Australia’s Sharing the National Collection / Art Across Australia program.
