Jan Senbergs
from screenprinter to painter
Jan Senbergs West Melbourne: a structure for Boullee and Ledoux (design for National Australia Bank tapestry) 1979, gift of the artist 1998
Jan Senbergs, born in Latvia in 1939, is one of Australia’s best known contemporary artists.
This exhibition comprises a generous selection of his screenprints, which reflect the artist’s fascination with technology, paintings related closely to them, and a number of his most powerful paintings from the 1960s to the most recent.
It presents the artist’s prints within the context of his work as a whole, underlining their central importance to his evolution into a remarkable, idiosyncratic and admired draughtsman and painter.
