ALASDAIR MCGREGOR
The Wollangambe River series of screenprints are Alasdair's first efforts in the printmaking medium. Rather than slavishly trying to reproduce painterly effects, the prints depart from the paintings that inspire them. Subtleties of tone and colour are built up in smooth expanse, ideally suited to the subject of the silent, gliding river. Over a period of three years from 1993, Alasdair McGregor was fortunate to visit numerous islands off every Australian coast; researching, photographing and painting. The results of this marvellous endeavour were an exhibition - Australia's Wild Islands, held in 1996, and a book of the same title published in 1997. These two lithographs were inspired by that project. Drawing is fundamental to Alasdair's work, so lithography became a natural choice in printmaking, allowing him to readily explore a love of line and modelling. These prints reflect just two of the endless variety of subjects he encountered in his island wanderings. All works are image size only and unframed. Please contact us regarding freight prices. All works are framed.
SCREENPRINTS FOR SALE
WOLLANGAMBE RIVER I 1988 76.0 x 62.0 cm Edition: 99 $550 This is the last image available. The Wollangambe is a favourite haunt of Alasdair's in the northern Blue mountains. Close to Sydney, yet in parts quite remote, it cuts through the extensive Wollangambe wilderness. The river constantly changes character as limpid and turquoise waters flow over shallow sandbars then suddenly turn green, dark and cold as they reach the next narrow cleft of rock.

WOLLANGAMBE RIVER III 1988 76.0 x 62.0 cm Edition: 99 $550 The Wollangambe is a favourite haunt of Alasdair's in the northern Blue Mountains. Close to Sydney, yet in parts quite remote, it cuts through the extensive Wollangambe Wilderness. The river constantly changes character as limpid and turquoise waters flow over shallow sandbars then suddenly turn green, dark and cold as they reach the next narrow cleft of rock.

DRYSDALE RIVER, KIMBERLEY, WESTERN AUSTRALIA 1989 56.0 x 74.0 cm Edition: 99 $550 Between 1988 and 1992 Alasdair made five extensive visits to the Kimberley region of Western Australia. Exhibitions and a book — The Kimberley: Horizons of Stone resulted. Drysdale River, Kimberley, Western Australia depicts the sandstone flanks of one of Australia's most inaccessible rivers. As a living environment favoured by Aboriginal people for thousands of years, the rocky overhangs along the river abound with art. The strong colours depict the remoteness of the Kimberley region of Australia.
LITHOGRAPHS FOR SALE
FRINGING THE CAY, HERON ISLAND 1996 41.0 x 58.4 cm Edition: 40 $440 Fringing the Cay, Heron Island depicts a quiet corner of the well-known Heron Island at the lower end of the Great Barrier Reef. Casuarinas sigh and pandanus fronds rattle in the afternoon breeze on the edge of the island's collar of white coral sand.

SQUALL APPROACHING BUSHY ISLET, CAPE YORK 1996 41.4 x 58.1 cm Editions: 40 $440 Squall Approaching Bushy Islet, Cape York recalls a brief stop on a remote mangrove cay off the Cape York coast of Queensland while Alasdair sailed from Cairns through the Great Barrier Reef to the Kimberley. As he recalls in Australia's Wild Islands (Hodder and Stoughton, Sydney, 1997), Bushy Islet is unspectacular and unsung, just one little tile of a great mosaic [but] nonetheless an exquisite example of the diversity of the reef and the islands within its bounds.
