Yvonne Audette: Observation and Experience

Yvonne Audette is one of Australia’s most important artists whose work across seven decades reveals a lifelong commitment to abstract painting that is lyrical, meditative, and pictorially dynamic. This exhibition brings together a number of Audette’s exceptional abstract works and juxtaposes them against a fascinating selection of tenderly observed figurative drawings and paintings made in Spain at the beginning of a decade in which Audette lived and worked in Europe. By reflecting on Audette’s finely honed drawings and paintings of people we can perceive how her painterly touch and energised line evolved into a highly distinctive abstract visual language.
