Current exhibition
The Painter & the Printmaker
5 September 2023 – 8 September 2024
William Robinson is revered as one of the nation’s great contemporary painters, recognised for his multiperspective depictions of the Australian landscape. While he is most readily identifiable by his monumental paintings, his print works are scarcely understood or fully acknowledged for their aesthetic value and contribution to the artist’s remarkable creative vision. This exhibition provides rare insight into Robinson’s mastery as a colourist and mark-maker by showcasing four decades of printmaking, in particular his lithographs and etchings, alongside major paintings.

The artist
“Once you’re a painter it’s not a hobby, it becomes part of your very being. Every single thing you do to do with your living relates to your painting. You’re a sort of prisoner to your art.” – William Robinson AO
