Ann Thomson has been at the forefront of the Australian art landscape for more than 50 years. Brisbane born but now Sydney based, Thomson is a painter and sculptor known for her intriguing, expressive artworks.
Her importance as a visual artist cannot be overstated and her influence on generations of artists is evident. The body of work in this exhibition was created predominantly during the 1970’s. Paintings from this period are rarely seen and we are in the extremely privileged position of being able to offer them.
