Gentle Protagonist: Art of Michael McWilliams

In 2024-2025, QVMAG will present the first ever public exhibition of the works of much-loved Tasmanian artist, Michael McWilliams.

McWilliams is one of Australia's most successful and widely recognised artists. His quirky and whimsical landscapes, depicting wildlife, and domestic and feral species, in Tasmanian bushland, farmyards, gardens and houses, have captivated audiences around Australia and internationally. His works project a great affection for his subjects and while often humorous, can also carry a darker observation on human effects on the environment.

The exhibition and companion publication will be the first holistic survey of McWilliams' art, exploring his life and career, his place in the canon of Australian and international art, and his empathy with the wildlife and natural environment of Tasmania.

This will be a must-see experience for all Tasmanians and anyone who loves the Tasmanian countryside. But be prepared to be watched.
