Introduction -
Andrew Sibley - Pivotal

Pivotal is the second exhibition of the work of Andrew Sibley at Kick Gallery. Having exhibited works on perspex created by Sibley from 1974 & 1976 in his first show, the second series to be exhibited at Kick Gallery are works on canvas, as well as some works on paper on board, created in 1971 & 1972.

Once again this important exhibition highlights this pioneering artist’s exploration of ideas relating to the human condition and people’s relationships to each other. They are at times challenging in terms of subject, on other occasions full of whimsy and humanity, what binds the entire set of works is there unmistakable virtuosity.

The second of a series of exhibitions in the coming years that look back to look forward on how Australian art has developed, Pivotal continues to reaffirm and reassert Sibley’s preeminence as a modern Australian master.
