City Gallery Wellington presents an exhibition of abstract works by Milan Mrkusich, on display from 20 February - 16 May 2010, as part of the Festival Season sponsored by ANZ.
“You want a landscape? Take a drive in the country.”Milan Mrkusich’s blunt piece of advice to Woman’s Weekly readers in 1969 was made in the face of intense hostility towards abstract art.
Forty years later, the exhibition Trans–Form brings Mrkusich’s now highly revered abstract painting to City Gallery Wellington.
Curated by Alan Wright and Edward Hanfling, this exhibition provides a unique opportunity to witness Mrkusich’s potent use of symbolic form, line and colour over four decades of painting.
