PROJECT SPACE

JUAN FORD: THE INSTANT

Painting in the 21st Century faces the challenges of an increasingly digital world. Our desire for exigency and directness, coupled with the pre-eminence of the digital image, has seen painting revivify itself, becoming the focus of a return to tradition

Juan Ford creates slow, intense and concentrated paintings that reflect on the natural world, technology, and contemporary culture. His meticulously painted images speak to our love of the Australian landscape and the magic of the painted surface.

The Instant will present an overview of the artists practice from 2004 until the present day, featuring paintings and 3-dimensional work.     

Juan Ford: The Instant is curated by Kent Buchanan
