Fantastic Forms celebrates the legacies of Merric and Arthur Boyd. Pairing the Boyds' ceramics and drawings from the Bundanon Collection with sculpture, ceramics and video works by three contemporary artists - Nabilah Nordin, Stephen Benwell and emerging Bundjalung artist Rubyrose Bancroft.
The starting point for Fantastic Forms is the expansive selection of multi-hued drawings and curvilinear ceramics by Merric Boyd, collected by his son, Arthur Boyd, which form a cornerstone of the Bundanon Collection. Bringing this lyrical work into conversation with the very different practices of three living Australian artists, Fantastic Forms explores the joy of artmaking and its connection to everyday life.
Fantastic Forms is a Bundanon Touring Exhibition. The exhibition is supported by the National Collecting Institutions Touring and Outreach Program, an Australian Government program aiming to improve access to national collections for all Australians.
This project has been assisted by the Australian Government's Visions of Australia and Regional Arts Fund programs.
