Anne Zahalka, The Cleaner (Marianne Redpath/performance artist) from the series Resemblance, 1987, cibachrome photograph, 80 x 80 cm.
ANNE ZAHALKA will be discussing her influential Resemblance series and its companion series Details at the Monash Gallery of Art this Sunday 3 March at 2pm.
This series draws on the aesthetic conventions of seventeen century Dutch genre painting, utalising the formal elements of their compositions, while reinvesting them with references to contemporary life.
The works are included in 'Robyn Stacey: as still as life' which closes this weekend. The exhibition explores still life photography, placing the genre and Robyn Stacey’s work into context.
