The enviable ‘A Century of Boyd’
collection is too seldom seen in Australia.
It’s rare to be able
to amalgamate the collection of such significance.
Rarely
seen away from London,
Australian masterpieces are now
in Galeria
Aniela
fine art gallery and Sculpture Park,
the only venue
in Australia to proudly
boast the
most inspiring
exhibition.
The collection
of impeccable provenance and quality,
feature over 100 original artworks including
paintings
and bronzes
from the private collection in London of the Boyd family.The exhibition
presents a rare
perspective, personal and revealing, that kept shaping Boyd’s artists
own legacy.
It is
‘tour de force’ of the most renowned Boyd dynasty artists and can be
considered a new reference point
for their work.
Ceaselessly
innovative and prolific, the collection embodies the
creative spirit of the modern age, yet for all the modernity of the
chosen artists, is deeply connected with the art of the past. Although
mostly portray Australian landscape Boyd’s artists never abandoned the
figure
and remained masters of painting as well as bronze sculpture. The
collection lays bare personal passions, desires and qualms, as well as
the
anxieties of the time and the fragility and resilience of human life
embracing some of the most iconic
series that include ‘Bride’, ‘Lovers’ ‘Europa’ and
‘Nudes’.
Heide Circle
artists like
Arthur Boyd and
David Boyd
played a key role in the
Antipodean’s in the late 1950’s,
warning of the gullible
adoption of overseas fashion, American abstract expressionism in
particular, they shaped Australian art.

Lenore has deep understanding of the human form and great
appreciation its beauty and during past forty years produced a prolific
body of work.
No family has collectively made such a major contribution
to the arts in Australia as the Boyd’s. In fact, the Boyd's dynasty has
been synonymous with the arts.

our cultural life is
significant.
The Boyd artistic dynasty is the most successful family in
the arts in the world.
