A richly detailed work of art criticism and biography, this volume chronicles the life and creative vision of Andrew Sibley, one of Australia's most distinctive and spiritually driven painters. Sasha Grishin, a leading authority on Australian art, presents a comprehensive examination of Sibley's decades-long career, situating his work within the broader currents of Australian modernism while illuminating the deeply personal and metaphysical dimensions that set him apart. With scholarly precision and genuine admiration, Grishin illustrates how Sibley's art occupies a liminal space — hovering at the boundary between the material and the transcendent, the figurative and the abstract. The text draws on extensive research, personal interviews, and close visual analysis to uncover the philosophical and religious underpinnings that animate Sibley's haunting, luminous canvases. Authoritative yet accessible, this is an essential resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of contemporary Australian art and the singular vision of one of its most uncompromising practitioners.
