Auguste Blackman, son of Charles Blackman, carries on his father’s legacy with the fantastical ‘Alice’s List’. Present is the White Rabbit, strung upside with eyes bulging; a multi-eyed dodo; tea; flowers and Alice, a serene timepiece at the image’s heart.
This work is as much an ode to Alice in Wonderland as it is to Auguste’s childhood. 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, check this beauty off your wish list.
