Drawing as a fundamental artistic discipline, a form of research, a conceptual game: whatever the motivation, for many artists drawing is as necessary as breathing. The inaugural Dobell Australian Drawing Biennial presents the work of ten artists for whom drawing is the core of their practice, and who work in or from the landscape. Their art is extraordinarily diverse and shaped by different conceptual and artistic concerns, but, for each, landscape is the subject that sustains their work and drawing is the means by which they achieve it. The artists: Tom Carment, Joe Furlonger, Ross Laurie, Ivy Pareroultja, Ana Pollak, Peter Sharp, Mary Tonkin, John R Walker, Gosia Wlodarczak, John Wolseley.
