Ron Robertson-Swann OAM is a highly respected artist and art educator, best known for abstract metal sculptures often painted in bright colours, including Vault (1980), one of the most talked-about artworks in Australian history. In 2002 he was awarded an OAM for his contributions to art education and sculpture in Australia, and he is described as a mentor to numerous artists. Ron's passion for sculpture was influenced by his teachers, who included Lyndon Dadswell, Sir Anthony Caro, Phillip King, Clement Greenberg, and Harry Nicolson.

In 1969, the inaugural exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria, hailed in Australian art history, presented the first comprehensive exhibition of colour field paintings and abstract sculpture, including 74 artworks by 40 artists in Australia. This groundbreaking exhibition launched the career of Ron Robertson-Swann along with a new generation of Australian artists. This webinar conversation for the Colour Society of Australia will focus on Ron's vibrant experiences as an artist, and on the influence of colour on and in his art practice and that of his contemporaries.


Aly Indermühle's career has spanned multiple elements of film and television production to include 3D animation, artistic creation, sculpture, lighting, texturing and theme park design. She now focuses on sculpture, art installations and digital works in her artistic practice, which encompasses large-scale publicly displayed light art as seen in VIVID Sydney and The Australian Open to smaller more intimate works for the private sphere.

These webinars are free to CSA members and non-members around Australia and the world, but as a reward to our wonderful members we make bookings available to members-only for about a week before we make them available to non-members, to ensure that no member need miss out on a place provided that they register promptly.
