Sydney Ball is in the 21st Biennale of Sydney

SUPERPOSITION: Equilibrium and Engagement will run from 16 March - 11 June. Curated by Mami Kataoka of the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo and titled SUPERPOSITION: Equilibrium and Engagement, the Biennale will take place in multiple venues across Sydney.

Sydney Ball - The late Sydney Ball was a pioneer in the field of painting and the development of abstraction in Australia. An influential and prolific artist, Ball’s extensive oeuvre can be divided into distinct series, some focused on figuration and others dedicated to abstraction. Each stylistic evolution represents a significant shift in direction, yet Ball’s captivation with form, colour and light remains evident throughout his practice.
