It’s a Still Life

Retreating from Ivan Eyre’s distinct abstract and surrealist styles, It’s a Still Life highlights works from his oeuvre which reflect the notion of stillness. Through the still-lifes, landscapes and figure studies of Eyre and other WAG permanent collection artists, we uncover how the average person unwinds and settles both their body and mind. Stillness then becomes more than just a lack of movement, but can be defined through activities of leisure, release, and human connection, making us feel grounded in a life that is anything but still.
