UNTIL JUNE 27

The human figure without clothes — it is each of us, at some point, every day.

ALBERT TUCKER — PORTRAITS

UNTIL JUNE 29

Albert Tucker was a major figure in the Australian modernist movement, which challenged the foundations of traditional art practice and adopted a spontaneous and visionary approach to the creative process. Throughout his career, he painted significant portraits of his contemporaries and loved ones. Sitters included Tucker’s colleagues in the so called Angry Penguins group or ‘Heide circle’ — Joy Hester, Sidney Nolan, Arthur Boyd and John Perceval. This exhibition presents 10 of Tucker’s most important portraits that transition through various periods of his artistic development, leaving a thread that connects a great portion of his oeuvre. Visit benallaartgallery.com.

POLIXENI PAPAPETROU: THE GHILLIES

UNTIL JUNE 15

Artist Polixeni Papapetrou engages part reality, part fantasy, using the rich landscape terrain as a backdrop for her narratives about the transition from childhood. ‘The Ghillies’ is a reflection on the surrendering of childhood or boyhood to the adult world, as young boys separate from great maternal intimacy and are absorbed into institutional camouflage of one kind or another.
