In his latest exhibition, Jeff Makin reflects on his travels to Central Australia, capturing the colour and vibrancy of the earthy red centre. Dramatic, bold landscape paintings reflect on the vastness and spirit of the land.
'RED CENTRE is a selection of paintings, some old some new, themed around my numerous painting trips to the so-called “Red Centre”. People forget that this is a vast desert full of fiery, sometimes fatal, embraces. This landscape is rich in millennia-old Aboriginal narratives that pre-date white settlement. Stories. Oral histories.'
Painted over the last 30 years the exhibition includes paintings which have not been viewed outside of his studio, as well as some recent works reflecting on his memories of travels to the Australian outback.
Jeff Makin is one of Australia’s leading landscape artists and one of the few surviving artists from a close cohort of painters including Fred Williams and John Olsen.
Makin is represented in numerous national, state and most regional and corporate collections in Australia. He has won the Tattersalls Art Prize in Brisbane and has also a finalist on numerous occasions.
The exhibition is showing from 11 – 22 July 2023 at Mitchell Fine Art, 86 Arthur Street, Fortitude Valley Brisbane.
An opening event celebrating the artist's long standing artistic career will be held on Saturday 15th July at 2pm, with Jeff Makin in attendance.
The gallery is open 6 days a week from Monday to Friday 10am to 5.30pm and Saturday 10am until 5pm, with onsite parking available.
