Fantastic Forms expands from Merric Boyd’s well-known ceramic work into his energetic and playful drawing practice, all of which were underpinned by the spiritual philosophy of love and connection that ran through his work and family life.
A cornerstone of the Bundanon Collection, Merric Boyd’s artwork reflects the strong influence he had on his son Arthur, both as an artist and as someone committed to a deeply creative life.
Curated by Sophie O’Brien and Boe-lin Bastian, Fantastic Forms was first presented at Bundanon’s Art Museum in 2023. The exhibition represents the first comprehensive showing of Merric Boyd’s works from the Bundanon Collection and, alongside recent works by three contemporary artists, demonstrates Arthur and Yvonne Boyd’s commitment to engage the public in a deeper understanding of the work of living artists.
