The Splendour of Nature

Exhibition dates 15 May - 12 July 2025

The Splendour of Nature is an exhibition of landscapes by Victorian artist Mark Dober featuring wall-sized works on paper using gouache and watercolour.  These works were made on site, locally at Saltwater Headland, and at Wollemi National Park and the upper reaches of the Murrumbidgee River. The artist’s single sheet coastal paintings complete the exhibition. 

Immersed in his subject, responding to the near and the far (weedy plants/leaves and sticks on the ground as much as the forest canopy or overarching sky), Dober’s work celebrates his real time experience of nature. The artist paints with directness and immediacy.
