PADDY BEDFORD: GOUACHE | Melbourne
17 August 2024 – 20 September 2024
About Exhibition
PADDY BEDFORD: GOUACHE will present over 40 gouache works on paper held in Trust since their creation, including several of the last black and white series that Bedford painted at the end of his life.
Far from ancillary to his more extensive paintings on canvas and board, Bedford’s gouache works reveal much about his instinct for form and minimalism, and his joy of painting.
Individually, these works on paper can be appreciated for their poetry. Still, when exhibited en masse, they offer an opus of colour and composition that gives insight into the unique studio practice of this celebrated Gija artist.
