At the edge of the Simpson Desert 2011

Elisabeth Cumings (b.1934) is one of Australia's leading painters and this survey exhibition focuses on her landscapes from the past 40 years.
Cummings landscapes are distinguished by heavily impastoed surfaces and luminous colour, whether depicting the glowing red and yellow ochres of the Pilbara region in Western Australia, the ruggedly spectacular Arkaroola ridges of the Flinders Ranges, or the sands of Elcho Island in Arnhem Land.

Memories of her travels across Australia are distilled and brought to life in the sanctuary of her bush studio at Wedderburn on Sydney’s outskirts. The exhibition features paintings, gouaches & prints from public & private collections.
