Cowra Regional Art Gallery is pleased to be presenting The Good - a major new solo exhibition by Western Australian artist Anna Louise Richardson whose practice is centred around rural life, embedded in the experience and drama of everyday reality. Working primarily in large scale drawing, Richardson’s work renders realistic scenes that speak strongly to her experience of rural life as a member of a multi-generational farming family.
The Good emerges from Richardson’s broader investigations into the complex relationships between humans and the natural world, tinged by grief and the competing demands of nurturing new life.
In a world increasingly defined by division and hardship, Richardson’s work points to the necessary act of radical optimism needed to seek goodness in all things. With the majority of works commissioned for this touring exhibition in 2023, visiting Cowra Regional Art Gallery to see these new artworks is an unmissable opportunity.
Cassandra Hard Lawrie, Art Gallery Director, Cowra Regional Art Gallery says of the exhibition, ‘This grassroots exhibition with its homely and agricultural focus is sure to resonate with our rural community within Cowra Shire and the neighbouring region’.Artist Anna Louise Richardson says: “My work is autobiographical, chronicling my life through the objects around me, objects that are steeped in meaning and memory, yet are present in many peoples realities.
