Beneath the Radiant Southern Cross

Artist

Matthew McAlpine

Exhibition dates

22 October - 11 November 2021

Overview

Beneath the Radiant Southern Cross by Matthew McAlpine is a collection of recent paintings that reflect upon the intersection and toxicity of colonialism and nationalism in contemporary Australia. The artworks, rendered in a selective palette with a thick and gritty surface, directly reference land, mining industries and toxic chemicals while playfully subverting national propaganda such as the anthem, the Southern Cross and the Union Jack.

Matthew McAlpine is a recipient of the Edith Cowan University Painting Artist in Residence Program
