La Trobe University Visual Arts Centre

This summer the Visual Arts Centre is proud to present two exhibitions curated by the Bendigo Art Gallery, featuring significant pieces from its contemporary collection:

25 Years of Sculpture from the collection of Bendigo Art Gallery

10 Jan – 15 Feb This exhibition highlights a selection of the Gallery’s collection of sculpture from the mid to late 1980s through to contemporary works. From the swaying elegance of Christopher Langton’s Sunflower to the challenging issues addressed in The Young Family by Patricia Piccinini, each work represents a key moment in the Gallery’s collecting history. Botanical Residues from the collection of Bendigo Art Gallery 21 Feb – 29 March Featuring the work of a number of significant Australian artists including Rosalie Gascoigne, Rosemary Laing, Tim Maguire and John Wolseley, this exhibition draws inspiration from the work of Janet Laurence, and brings together for reflection works from the collection of Bendigo Art Gallery which reference the botanical form.
