‘Colour’s the Thing’ with Lesley Dumbrell’
Art Guide Australia

Since her first exhibition at Bonython Gallery in Sydney in 1969, Lesley Dumbrell has defined geometric, hard-edge abstract painting in Australia. She became prominent in the 1970s for her use of colour and line, and also her involvement in the Women’s Art Movement and co-founding the Women’s Art Register. Since 1990 she has lived and worked between Thailand and Victoria, and is now being recognised with a career-defining survey at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, with a title that aptly captures the experience of her work: Thrum.
