burrinja presents
All My Fat Country | Rod Moss
27 Aug - 08 Oct | Burrinja Gallery
From a body of more than 200 works made during the artist's four decades of life in Mparntwe/Alice Springs, four paintings have been selected. Their themes reflect his enduring friendships with the traditional owners of town and surrounding county, the Arrernte.
Recently, Moss has returned to re-describing the local environment in graphite, the medium he favoured in his first exhibition at Hawthorn City Gallery in 1978. Then it was the suburban backyard. In the present show, its the rugged hill country at his backdoor.
Rod Moss was born in Ferntree Gully and had his first exhibition at Burrinja in 2014. He is an award-winning author of several books including The Hard Light of Day and A Thousand Cuts.
