A Bigger View
Embark on a journey of epic proportions as you immerse yourself in monumental works of art from the National Gallery of Australia (NGA). Made possible through the Australian Government’s Sharing the National Collection initiative, this exhibition brings together masterpieces from the NGA alongside major works from our very own collection.
Spanning decades and continents, each epic in scale and subject, these artworks demonstrate the various and unique approaches artists take to the landscape.
A highlight for visitors will be two artworks created by Henri Matisse (1869 -1954), one of Europe’s greatest twentieth-century modernist artists. Accompanying Matisse’s uniquely abstracted views of sea and sky forms is an extraordinary work by senior Australian artist, Imants Tillers, presenting a vision of the Australian landscape inspired by Eugene Von Guérard’s 1863 masterpiece North-east view from the northern top of Mount Kosciusko.
These works will be complemented by stunning works from HOTA’s own collection. Uluru by Pintupi artist Long Tom Tjapanangka brings a First Nations perspective of Australia’s biggest landmark to the exhibition, and a stunning hinterland painting by beloved Australian artist William Robinson invites contemplation of the natural world around us.
Prepare to be awestruck by the grandeur of these works, as you explore a bigger view.
Date: From now until 21 June 2026
Where: HOTA, Home of the Arts
