Peter Graham

In the late 1980s Peter Graham's studio at the Victorian College of the Arts was a cascading jumble of strange sculptural forms and piles of paper scrawled with bizarre, alien figures. His notes on tracking a jaguar through the Victorian bush were scattered over many surfaces. Sticks and bones were strewn throughout the space and miniscule robotic figures welded from rusted metal skulked in dark corners.

Graham's work rapidly evolved into ferocious drawings. The intensity of the built up surface reduced charcoal and pencil to nubs as the artist trekked through fantastical landscapes.

Today Graham continues to act as a conduit: bringing a curious, haunting reality into our banal world.
