This is a refinement of Bawden’s sustained exploration of landscape – his most essential point of reference. These works exploit Bawden’s long engagement with his core medium – the sculptural honeycomb of coloured pencils, with an innate logic continuously yielding rich possibilities for the artist. They speak directly of the meandering lines of traversing landscape, the voids and ellipses of mountain pools and rock formations, skirting the edge of waterholes, doubling back around and walking along both sides of a canyon. Bawden synchronously transmits these terrains into pulsating abstractions.

Lionel Bawden lives and works in New South Wales
