    Event description

    Join Benalla Art Gallery, artist Juan Ford and curator Dr Vincent Alessi for the launch of Juan Ford: A Survey.

    This survey exhibition presents 20 years of Ford’s practice, revealing the key conceptual questions with which he has engaged and which over time have manifested in more complex, refined and mature ways. It is an exhibition that reveals the trajectory of Ford’s thinking, technical virtuosity and visual language. It reveals the new ways Ford has developed to speak with his audience about concerns which have always interested him.

    Presented thematically, the exhibition explores how Ford has been consistently engaged with certain questions throughout his career, evidence of his deep intellectual engagement with ideas and concepts and artistic traditions. The exhibition celebrates one of this country’s most accomplished painters, not solely owing to his technical brilliance but more so because of his commitment to engage with questions that are incredibly contemporary, pressing, and central to who we are, what we might be, and where we are going.
