Joe Furlonger: Horizons
One of Australia’s most respected landscape painters, Joe Furlonger came to prominence in the late 1980s with a series of large-scale figurative paintings. Employing a highly physical method, he applied swathes of colour with vigorous sweeps of the brush. With inspiration drawn from Matisse, Picasso and Ian Fairweather, Furlonger has never attempted to disguise his artistic influences.
Drawn from the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) Collection Joe Furlonger: Horizons traces the artist’s career through a range of media from painting to ceramics, sculpture and drawing.
The exhibition also includes works from City of Moreton Bay’s own collection, showing them in the context of Furlonger’s broader oeuvre.
