Auguste Blackman, son of Charles Blackman, carries on his father’s legacy with the fantastical ‘Alice’s Bouquet’. In it, Alice and the White Rabbit huddle together, blooms in hand, a bevy of beverages swirling around them. This is a zero gravity dinner party. This work is as much an ode to Alice in Wonderland as it is to Auguste’s childhood among Australia’s modernist greats.

Cast in a complex and personal light, this Alice is an homage to Charles Blackman’s legacy, the wonder of a childlike eye and chaos. Whether reflecting on the experience of growing up among artists, or demonstrating a born passion for painting, Auguste remains a dynamic and rich voice in Australian art.

For collectors of the Blackmans and admirers of Alice in Wonderland, bask in the intoxicating ‘Alice’s Bouquet’.
