After Nature
After Nature: A Homage to Country is a solo exhibition by Lyndon Keene, presenting a contemplative body of work inspired by landscape, memory and lived experience.
Keene’s work emerges from landscape not as something simply observed but as something felt. His paintings are not about what is seen but about what is experienced and remembered, translating immersion in place into layered visual form. Working intuitively, he seeks to evoke sensation rather than fixed interpretation, creating space for reflection, connection and openness to the unknown.
“My work is born of landscape. My paintings are not about what I see but what I feel, and expressing those feelings visually creates for me a strong sense of connection with the landscape and the environment and a deeper appreciation of their value. I work to evoke sensations rather than tangible realities – to create a space for viewers to immerse themselves in, to sense a connection yet allowing room for the unknown and the inexplicable.”
Dedicating his first local solo exhibition to the traditional custodians of this culture-rich land and to the concept of Country, this exhibition is a personal expression of respect, gratitude and connection.
The exhibition will be opened with a Welcome to Country Ceremony by Yuin Nation artist and founder of cultural education organisation Gumaraa.

Lyndon Keene
Lyndon Keene is a contemporary painter whose practice explores landscape, memory, and sensation through layered, intuitive processes. Working in mixed media, he builds atmospheric works that balance gesture, colour, and abstraction, often allowing earlier marks to remain visible beneath the surface.
Originally trained in England, he returned to painting after a long break, later establishing his practice in Aotearoa New Zealand and now based in New South Wales, Australia. Keene has exhibited widely across both countries and been a finalist in several major Australian art prizes.
