Julz Beresford & Carly Le Cerf – Between Dust & Rain

Two of today’s most original, influential and acclaimed interpreters of the Australian landscape – Dyarubbin/Hawkesbury-based painter Julz Beresford and West Australian artist Carly Le Cerf – will join forces at Michael Reid Murrurundi in May for the gallery’s large-scale exhibition Between Dust & Rain.

Between Dust and Rain will place new bodies of work by Beresford and Le Cerf in a compelling conversation, with their distinct painterly preoccupations hewing to the vivid contrasts of our continent: the sunburnt red centre and the alpine sweeps that cling to the coast.

From Beresford’s monumental, atmospheric renderings of Snowy Mountains bluffs and the brooding Hawkesbury waterways that snake through the area’s tangled bushland to Le Cerf’s epic topographic portraits of endless, ochre-tinged plains, Between Dust and Rain is a celebration of the Australian landscape from two leading artists for whom immersion in nature is a grounding force for both their creative process and their emotional lives.
