• Notes:
  Paddy Bedford is one of Australia's most esteemed artists. His powerful and evocative paintings draw on rich traditions while his consistent innovations result in a diverse and dynamic body of work. Characterised by their bold forms, sinuous lines and complex spatial play, Bedford's paintings reveal a sheer love of painting, inspired by the dramatic and distinctive landscapes of his country in the East Kimberley region of Western Australia, and the stories of his people.'1 1.
