Discover a compelling exploration of history and memory through the eyes of Central Victorian artist Clayton Tremlett in our latest exhibition. After more than six years of dedicated research, Tremlett presents a comparative portrait study of sixty-six First World War Digger memorials, offering a unique opportunity to connect with the faces that have stood as silent sentinels for a century.
Tremlett’s meticulous process results in powerful screen prints that mirror the iconic First World War studio portraits, allowing you to see these memorials in a new light – both literally and figuratively.
The exhibition sheds new light on August Rietman, the most prolific Victorian sculptor of Digger statues whose figures are celebrated as the quintessential Aussie Digger.
Immerse yourself in this fusion of art, history, and research, and witness the faces of our past brought vividly to life.
