For more than thirty years Piggott has lived at Metung, overlooking the Gippsland lakes. His paintings draw on the experience of light and atmosphere around the lakes, without making specific reference to the landscape. Instead, his paintings might be read as abstractions, without losing touch with real life perception and phenomena.
The exhibition covers the last four years of Piggott’s work, and includes oil paintings as well as paintings in other media. Visitors to the exhibition will be taken on a journey through space and atmosphere, with many pieces alluded to an upward passage into the heavens above.
