Spirit of the Landscape Art Exhibition, presented by not-for-profit Plein Air Down Under, celebrates the vast landscapes of rural, regional and remote Australia, through the eyes of exhibiting artists. In telling these stories, artists may choose to reference place, the people of remote communities, the topography of the landscape or the challenges of living and working in remote Australia. This carefully curated selection of award-winning artists will ensure a high standard of work while acknowledging their continued involvement and support of the Plein Air Down Under Outdoor Painting Festival. Presenting the Spirit of the Landscape 2024 Exhibiting Artists are Lori Putnam (USA), Tony Robinson (Ireland), Matt Ryder (UAE), Leon Holmes, Andy Dolphin, Gordon Alexander, Andy Conlin, Leanne Pearson, Susan Penfold, Tiffany Forster, Jos Coufreur, Sam Swadling and Peter Studley. Leading Australian outdoor painting festival Plein Air Down Under is held annually in Mandurah and the Peel Region over the September long weekend and follows in the footsteps of international plein air festivals held in Ireland, the Netherlands, mainland USA and Hawaii. The festival attracts artists of all levels to paint 'en plein air’ and features world-class tutors accessible to the general public through free demonstrations, artist talks and special events.
