Riffing On brings together a selection of works borne out of the 1993 exhibition Pat Larter’s Rhythms & Pete Maloney’s Blues in which Maloney’s paintings perform as backdrops, stages and sets for Larter’s models and subjects. Performative practice was essential to Pat Larter’s oeuvre, providing the context and subject matter to her painting. Explicit, energised and charged, their paintings and photo-collages are supported by archival material documenting performance and place.
Life-long partners Richard and Pat Larter spent a large portion of their lives living in Yass, NSW and after Pat’s death in 1996, Richard moved to Canberra and became well-embedded within its cultural scene. Their influence was wide reaching and formative for several generations of Canberra artists.
