Elisabeth Cummings – New Paintings

One of Australia’s most respected living artists, the national treasure incarnate that is Elisabeth Cummings is currently exhibiting the latest works of her 57-year artistic career.

Working and living from her bush studio in Wedderburn, NSW, since 1976, Cummings has influenced many with her abstracted sense of style and colour. It has been said she has produced her best work yet over the past 15 years, and will continue to execute dynamic and iconic work.

At the tender age of 81, Elisabeth has been consistently travelling and working all over the globe for the past few years, most recently returning from a residency and exhibition in Hong Kong.

A master of line and colour, influenced by landscape and the idea of place, Cummings is creating the history of Australian painting right now. See the work of this relentlessly wonderful in the flesh at this fascinating point in her career. (AM)
