Robert MacPherson is one of Australia’s most respected artists, known for examining the role of the artist in the art-making process. Through both modernist and conceptual forms, MacPherson combines wide-ranging contemplations on the act of painting with a reverence for the local and the everyday. The Painter’s Reach is a wide-reaching exhibition, drawing works from MacPherson’s long career and incorporating paintings, installations, ephemera and works on paper. Over his forty year career, Robert MacPherson has dabbled in a range of artistic styles examining the aesthetic importance of minimalism, abstraction, the archival impulse, humour, aesthetics, conceptualism, and the everyday.
