Description: From the recent exhibition, The Art Gallery of South Australia's publication is the most comprehensive survey of the great Adelaide-born figurative painter Anna Platten. The first monograph to be written on Platten it highlights the artist's unique position in Australian contemporary art. The illuminating essay on the artist's oeuvre by the Gallery's curator, Tracey Lock-Weir, and its magnificent illustrations provide the foundation for further research on Anna Platten. Platten presents painted scenarios for the outside world that, despite appearing elaborately fabricated and unreal, reveal the artist's own emotional reality. While Platten remains the central multifaceted protagonist in this journey, these lush dream-like paintings are visionary and refer to universal themes such as the search for identity, meaning, immortality and belonging. Exploring the unknown, the fragile and the tragic elements of life, they essentially seek out what it means to be human.
