Join Benalla Art Gallery and Tony Lloyd for the official celebration of the exhibition High Plains Drift. Enjoy refreshments, and the opportunity to meet the artist and converse in a relaxed setting.
High Plains Drift features oil paintings inspired by hiking trips around Australia, New Zealand, and Switzerland. Evoking the vast and epic landscapes of the High Country near to Benalla, these hyperreal landscapes go beyond pictorial representation. Of the works, Lloyd explains, “The specific locations are not as important to me as the creation of a psychological space. The landscape is so much bigger than us. Looking at it you feel small. It’s connected to the sublime but not in a dramatic way, in a quiet way.”
