WIMMERA
Greg Mallyon

The Wimmera region of Australia includes the diverse geography of vast plains, desert and scrub contrasting with the dramatic Grampians / Gariwerd mountains. From above, the landscape is a fascinating pattern created by rivers, salt lakes, fields and gorges and is constantly evolving with the advent of floods, bushfire and drought.

Victorian landscape artist Greg Mallyon explores this region from an abstract aerial perspective using his knowledge and familiarity of the area. This unique exhibition is a collection of over 50 unseen small and large scale works, incorporating computer technology with traditional painting and printmaking to create a unique perspective of the Wimmera.

Mallyon’s landscapes explore his exposure to wide variety of cultures and terrain throughout his career and his application of natural ochres and pigment create rich textured paintings that not only chart and map terrain but tap into the essence of the land and its metaphysical layers.
