This is a stunning visual survey of one Australia's most loved multi-disciplinary artists. This exquisite monograph features paintings that revolve around the artist's connection with a coastal existence, evoking the complexities of weather and the endlessness of spectral phenomena. The artwork is accompanied by compelling essays by acclaimed curators and critics Margaret Moore and John Barrett-Lennard, which place the artist's remote landscape of Western Australian visual art firmly in the wider national and international arts narrative.

Jeremy Kirwan-Ward is a highly respected and collected painter whose work has played an important role in the visual arts of Western Australia. His paintings revolve around his connection with a coastal existence and evoke the complexities of weather and the endlessness of natural phenomena.

In this book, compelling essays by curators John Barrett-Lennard and Margaret Moore place Kirwan-Ward in the, oft referred to, remote landscape of Western Australian visual art and firmly in the wider national and international arts narrative.

‘His work has been compared to that of mid-twentieth century abstract expressionism and colour field artists of the New York School, especially in evocations of the transcendental and meditative.’ Excerpt, essay by John Barrett-Lennard.

The work of Jeremy Kirwan-Ward can be found in many private and public collections including the National Gallery of Australia, the National Gallery of Scotland, the Art Gallery of Western Australia, Wesfarmers, the Holmes à Court Collection and the Kerry Stokes Collection.
