As part of Melbourne Art Print Fair: edition2., Linden is excited to present the exhibition Fred Williams: Etchings.  

Bringing together over 40 of the artist’s etchings, the exhibition offers an opportunity to explore Williams’s experimentation and mastery of printmaking. While best known for his rigorous reimagining of the Australian landscape through painting, Williams turned to etching throughout his career, exploring the vastness of the landscape through the disciplined language of line and tone. 

Seen together, the etchings highlight how printmaking served as both a companion and catalyst to Williams’s paintings. They demonstrate his commitment to seeing the landscape anew, and to crafting a visual language that could hold its expansiveness, complexity and quiet energy.
