Neville Pilven
“New Works”
Like many
contemporary modernists engaged in the challenge to
establish a
succinct Australian iconography, Neville Pilven has been
concerned with
producing unconventional modernist landscapes for about
four decades.
Depending on the
conceptualisation of his emotional connection to the land,
the bleak and
impersonal nature of Neville’s landscapes negate human
presence, yet
reminds us of distant human intervention.
Large works
emphasise the
dynamism of changing topography and the harshness of the
forces which
sculpted its forms.
