It includes his abstractions of 1959–61 and his religious masterworks Gethsemane 1958 and Epiphany 1962. Working in a hut amidst a stand of Bribie Island Pines, Fairweather transformed his memories of travel in Asia and observations of contemporary life into complex layered works of remarkable vision. Drawn from public and Australian private collections, including the substantial holdings of the Queensland Art Gallery, the catalogue is published in association with the exhibition ‘Ian Fairweather: Late Works 1953–74’, QAG, 3 November 2012 to 3 March 2013.

This collection is selected from a body of work entitled AlphaStation/Alphaville; the title conflates Roberts’s recollection of childhood experiences in his hometown, Alpha, in central Queensland, and Jean-Luc Godard’s classic sci-fi film, Alphaville 1965, set on a distant planet far in the future but filmed on location in night-time Paris. Much of Roberts’ work explores fame, celebrity, notoriety and white culture: portraits of Roberts as Adolf Hitler and Andy Warhol blur lines between homosexual, homophobic and asexual culture and, obliquely but provocatively, engage the idea of repression.
