Studio: Australian Painters Photographed by R. Ian Lloyd presents 61 of some of Australia’s most respected and significant painters working in the studio environment.

The exhibition illustrates a broad cross-section of men and women from across Australia working in a variety of styles, from abstraction to the most exacting realism as well as traditional Aboriginal painters.

R. Ian Lloyd, well known for his National Geographic work, examines through these large photographic portraits the individual artist’s working environment: whether it be an inner city loft, a kitchen table or the sandy earth of the Outback.

The exhibition invites a questioning of each artist’s distinctiveness and how space affects and inspires individual creativity.

The Studio project was initiated in 2002, and also includes a 280 page hardbound book with text by John McDonald, art critic for the Sydney Morning Herald.
