AUGUSTINE DALL’AVA

These abstract designs were created by members of FASNZ Canterbury Area ‘Clippings” group, after a study period on the renowned Australian sculptor Augustine Dall’ava.

There is a strain of perfectionism in Dalla’ava’s nature that has no sympathy for the ‘rough and the ready’. It is a commitment to precision and detail. He is conscious of the material and how to make it work, some things in opposition and sometimes in harmony, with colour being a primary coordinating unifying element.

Collections of his work can be seen at McClelland Sculpture Park, Victoria, Melbourne International Airport, the Queens Plaza in Brisbane and throughout Australia and the world.
