BEVERLEY VEASEY: HABITATS

Monash Gallery of Art, Vic
16 September - 25 October
Beverley Veasey makes wry and gentle observations on the relations of humans to the world around them - particularly our engagement with the natural world. This exhibition features her most recent body of work, Habitats, which focuses on the man-made enclosures of zoos and animal parks. Monkey bars, waterholes and elaborately painted landscapes are beautifully depicted in stoney black and white. But the inhabitants are nowhere to be found, leaving us to wonder whether this is a story of escape or extinction.
