The walk in bush, 2018
Information
Davida Allen (b.1951, Charleville, Queensland) is an award-winning painter, writer and film maker. With her strongly gestural painting style using heavy brushstrokes and a bold colour palette, Allen’s works have an immediacy and near-naive sensibility that deliver the artist’s truth through an uncut lens on her world.
