This work is part of Isabelle de Kleine’s solo exhibition World Was on Fire.

Says Isabelle of this work: “As it dawned over the red cliffs of Karijini, a new land was created. The figures sit in a state of contemplation and reliance, looking beyond into the distant land. The softness of expression is contrasted to the sharp fragmentation of they bodies. Segmented by distinctive shapes and colours distorting the realism and providing an alternative view into their figuration. Their bodies have been carried across the two panels creating unity and movement between the works, which has also been further exemplified through the continuation of the colour palette and stylisation.
