Landscapes are one of the oldest traditions in art. They speak to our relationship with nature – captivated but slightly withheld – as well as the artistic challenge of capturing the changing of light and climate. Meditative, inspiring and refreshing, to gaze upon a landscape is to allow yourself a mental vacation.

The only Australian born member of the Royal Watercolour Society, Kenneth Jack is among Australia’s most significant landscape artists. In ‘Abandoned Mining Settlement, Illabaroh, VIC’, the artist has captured the serene environment of rural Australia. With the expansion of new settlements throughout Australia comes the abandonment of the old. Jack captures an mining outpost that has been abandoned, the effects of time loosening weatherboards and rusting tin sheets.

Jack is a renowned artist nationally and internationally, with works in collections such as the Royal Collection at Windsor, Victoria and Albert museum, National Gallery of Australia and the Australian War Memorial. For lovers of watercolours or quiet landscapes, ‘Abandoned Mining Settlement, Illabaroh, VIC’ is a delightful discovery.
