Tracing his influential, 60-year career, In Search of Painting is a survey exhibition of new and existing works by George Haynes, one of Western Australia’s most significant and prolific living painters.

The 84-year-old artist is known as a master of light, creating paintings that are characteristically drenched in colour, demonstrating a keen observation of everyday Australian life and landscape. Alongside the exhibition, Art Collective WA is producing the first ever monograph about George Haynes’ careers as a painter, teacher and mentor, with over 150 photographs and essays by art critic John McDonald and curator Sally Quin.
