- Summary:
-
Michael Armitage: The Promised Land will be the artist's first exhibition in Australia, presenting recent work with a suite of new paintings that reflect on the recent Kenyan elections and the political rallies and dissidence that followed. Sumptuous and explicit in their representation of the human body, Armitage's paintings reconsider cultural traditions and stereotypes, spinning the exoticising gaze of Western art history into a different direction.
