In a restrained palette, Jeffrey Makin draws a nude in water. Carved in staccato lines, she appears part of the granite – an earthly formation as natural as the rockface she stands beneath.

Considered the heir to the Heidelberg School, Makin creates “portraits” of the landscape – carving out their complexity, history and personality. He’s a genius when it comes to genius loci – a term meaning the essence of place that has held resonance since Ancient Rome.

Makin is represented across national, state and most regional collections, including at the National Gallery of Australia, National Gallery of Victoria and Parliament House. For collectors seeking a moment of tranquillity or a bushwalk from home, ‘Untitled (Nude Standing in Water)’ is a captivating find.
