“[Ken Whisson’s] was the body through which the world of his paintings flowed, not only as a sequence of memories, but as impressions, thoughts, glances and ripples of feeling. This is what he sought to form and re-form in each work he made. And as far as Australia-as-subject went, he became increasingly adept at catching it in the process of unfolding seamlessly into other places both real and imagined.” Quentin Sprague, Ken Whisson: Painting & Drawing, The Miegunyah Press, Melbourne, 2023, p. 84 Prior to his permanent return to Australia from Perugia, where the artist had lived for nearly four decades, Ken Whisson (1927-2022) curated six discrete exhibitions of his work, to be shown in the event of his passing. He selected oil paintings from different periods of his career, rolled and packed them away into tubes and sent them to Australia. Niagara Galleries is delighted to present Whisson’s second posthumous exhibition, featuring six previously unseen oil paintings that the artist selected for Tube 2, shown alongside eleven drawings, selected by the gallery.
