💚 ABOUT THE DISPLAY
Prudence Flint and John Brack: ALL ANGLES brings together, for the first time, the work of two acclaimed Melbourne artists, Prudence Flint and John Brack. Known for their distinctive styles and refined painterly techniques, both artists explore the human figure with precision and psychological insight, rendering figures with deeply symbolic colour palettes and sharp lines. Focusing on works developed through the close observation of models in their studios, this display spans paintings and works on paper that reflect each artist’s sustained engagement with the figure.
Together, the works of John Brack and Prudence Flint offer a compelling conversation across time, rooted in shared dedication to the human figure, the studio practice, and the complexities of representing women. In bringing their works into dialogue, the display invites fresh perspectives on both artists’ practices.
