Eternal
Rhythms Selected Works 1996-2006 highlights the ways in
which Sequeira interacts with his world to create a visual
language. Sequeira incorporates painting, sculpture, collage
and discarded objects to explore the notion of information
through the use of colour and geometry.
This is the first in the IBT Education Australian Artists
series of exhibitions presented by the John Curtin Gallery.
The Australian Artists series presents a major survey of
work by a leading Australian artist who has built a solid
professional reputation over the past decade of his practice. |
