Aarwun Gallery presents Songs of Earth & Sky, a solo exhibition of recent and selected works by David Voigt, an artist whose practice occupies a distinguished position within the trajectory of Australian post-war painting. Over the past five decades, Voigt has developed a sustained inquiry into the relationship between the terrestrial and the celestial, producing works that merge landscape traditions with a modernist sensibility towards abstraction, light, and spatial depth.

Voigt first came to national prominence in the 1970s, a period of significant transformation within Australian art. His receipt of both the Blake Prize for Religious Art and the Wynne Prize for Landscape Painting affirmed his capacity to operate at the confluence of the metaphysical and the topographical. His paintings are held in major public collections, including the National Gallery of Australia, the Art Gallery of New South Wales, and the National Gallery of Victoria, situating his oeuvre within the canon of Australian art history.

In Songs of Earth & Sky, Voigt synthesises his enduring engagement with the Australian environment—its mutable atmospheres, luminous horizons, and textural intricacies—with a painterly language informed by colour-field abstraction and tonal nuance. The works oscillate between figuration and abstraction, evoking not only the sensory immediacy of landscape but also its symbolic and spiritual resonances.

This exhibition reaffirms Voigt’s role as a pivotal figure in articulating a modern vision of the Australian landscape: one in which earth and sky are not merely observed phenomena, but interwoven fields of energy and meaning. His contribution remains integral to the discourse on how landscape is represented, reimagined, and spiritually apprehended in Australian visual culture.
