Ross Seaton: The Master of Nedlands
Online: 5 December 2020
Ross Seaton (1944-2020) was a well-known local figure, renowned for his long walks along Stirling Highway to the ocean.
Over the past 30 years, Seaton made extraordinary paintings and drawings in his front garden in Nedlands which documented his complex and interdisciplinary view of the world.
The first large-scale exhibition devoted to his work, The Master of Nedlands brings together a selection of Seaton's compelling works to document the artist's unique vision.
