Stieg Persson: The Fragonard Room
Fresh from Melbourne Now, the celebrated Australian artist is back with his latest abstractions.
Overview
Stieg Persson is an Australian contemporary artist who has been exhibiting since the early '80s and who, most recently, had work in the celebrated Melbourne Now exhibition at the NGV. Born and raised in Melbourne, Persson has contributed to many local group exhibitions and is a regular exhibitor at the Anna Schwartz Gallery.
His work is recognised for its abstraction, realism, romanticism and decorative complexities. Often they critique contemporary society and the contradictions of middle-class rebellion, in a playful and effervescent manner. This exhibition features canvases of abstract graffiti-like lines and curling patterns, resulting in almost floral images.
