Richard Dunn, "Polychrome" || e-invite and newsletter
‘Polychrome’ is to do with colour! Coming from the abundance and essential quality of colour in India - indicated in photo and painted works made from Hyderabad - and that coming from Albert Namatjira’s paintings of gorges in the MacDonnell Ranges, Central Australia, the six paintings are a small compendium and integration of Richard Dunn’s painting approaches and organisational methods over recent years. These paintings supplement and draw from photoworks made after a recent visit to Hyderabad, India.
