TONY WOODS

MAGMA presents TONY WOODS, the artist’s first solo exhibition at the gallery and the first showcase of his work in Melbourne since the artist’s untimely passing in 2017. The exhibition traces key moments in Tony’s journey over six decades of creative practice, featuring a curated selection of works which have never been seen.

"Woods often has been described as a painter of light, shadow and shade. Inanimate objects — their surfaces and the cast of shadows — became a fascination. No panoramas, no horizon line, but detail expressed poetically while seemingly taking a new approach, connects with his interest in silhouettes, images isolated and perfectly held in space and painted on paper or canvas"
