Internationally lauded Sydney artist Shaun Gladwell has unveiled his latest solo exhibition, with Pacific Undertow now on display at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia until October 7.
The exhibition covers two decades of Gladwell’s art, from early pieces to his more recent AR and VR masterpieces, and contains paintings, photographs, prints, drawings and videos, with skateboarders, BMX riders, soldiers and surfers featured prominently across many.
Pacific Undertow is a collaboration between Gladwell and co-curators Natasha Bullock and Blair French.
“It’s always a great pleasure to follow an artist’s career closely over a long period of time, and then have the opportunity to look back over their work,” Bullock and French said.
“We’ve captured something of that experience in the exhibition, drawing connections across different media, that highlight the deep intelligence coupled with an aesthetic joy that underpins Shaun’s work.”
MCA director Elizabeth Ann Macgregor added: “Shaun Gladwell has had a long association with the MCA. From his inclusion in the Primavera exhibition of young Australian artists in 2003 through to the substantial holdings of his work in the MCA Collection, including his extraordinary video Storm Sequence that truly announced him as a major figure in the Australian art scene some years ago.”
