Ildiko Kovacs
Fallen into Line

One of Australia’s most respected abstract painters, Ildiko Kovacs is renowned for images that, whilst grounded in her sense of the Australian landscape, are at the same time deeply personal meditations on her life and emotions. Alive with energy and movement, the surface of Kovacs’ works are renowned for their sensual flowing line played against passages of consummate mark-making. Washes of underpainting reveal themselves from beneath layers of colour, while Kovacs’ elegant and bold lines dictate the movement of our gaze across the picture plane.

Sam Gold
The Marrow of a Swollen River

About this body of work, Sam shares: “A body is a map of memories – of desires and sensations that shape our understanding of self and our communities. This new work observes the inner and outer landscapes of queerness, tacit knowledge and interconnectedness as it converses with notions integral to the primacy of movement, transition, and poetics of the body. Underscoring the ways in which our bodies and identities are at once intertwined and perpetually in flux, this work speaks to the politics and complexities inherent to non-binary and queer identities."

This project has been supported by Arts South Australia, Department of Premier and Cabinet.
