Richard Dunlop – Crossing the Rubicon River
Crossing the Rubicon River is a solo exhibition of new works by Richard Dunlop at Jan Murphy Gallery.
An established Australian painter, Dunlop has long explored the botanical world in his skilfully textured oil paintings. The natural cycles that are integral to life inform his practice, with the artist embracing both the destructive and regenerative elements of these cycles in his work. Dunlop’s paintings have a rich surface patina, after the result of a gradual re-working of his canvases over long periods of time. Originally from Brisbane, Dunlop sees Crossing the Rubicon River as representing a return for him to the distinctive Queensland landscape.
