Robert Hunter, 3 (09), 2009, acrylic on board, 121.9 x 243.8 cm. Gift of Lyn Williams AM 2009.
In 3 (09), 2009, there is within the grid’s subtle hints and textures of white, the additional element of a circle, representing the emergence of the fugue within the concert of white.
With time, most of Robert Hunter’s generation moved on from the minimalist aesthetic, yet Hunter’s continued allegiance and re-examination of the principles of minimalism throughout his practice, secured his place as a leading Australian exponent of minimalism and one of the major artists of his generation.
