Overview

ANU Drill Hall Gallery presents Richard Larter's exhibition: Free Radical.

Richard Larter has long been recognised as a founding father of Australian pop art, a role he, with typical contrariness, rejected. His working ethos was as a non-conformist, entirely anti-authoritarian, scorning of power inequity. Arresting, bold and daring, Larter's painting found energy in a fusion of popular culture, mechanical reproduction, the power of the ‘image', new science, page three smut, and global politics.

This exhibition locates Larter's rich stream of luminous abstract paintings (many painted in Canberra and Yass) within the body of his figurative work. While informed by his adventures into popular culture these works are also firmly rooted in the histories of abstraction, holding great concern for composition and the formal dynamic relationships of colour, shape and line. Fluid, lyrical and improvised, Larter's work refers to the energies of place and the politics of the times.
