Review: Magda Cebokli’s abstracts are tough, cerebral and elegant

The tough, cerebral abstract paintings by Magda Cebokli have long graced the Australian art scene but this, as far as I am aware, is the artist’s first solo exhibition in Canberra.
Cebokli was born in Slovenia in 1947 and came to Australia as a child. After a career as a clinical and research psychologist, in the 1990s she requalified as an artist, studying art in Australia, Hong Kong and New York, and settled in Melbourne where she has been exhibiting since the 1990s.

This exhibition is a conversation in three parts, each exploring aspects of the language of space. The work in each of the parts was inspired by time I have spent in Spain and my response to some of the places I visited.

I visited The Alhambra in Granada, Spain in 2007. On return home, I made a number of small studies based on my response to, and reading about, the site. A return visit was planned for 2020 but had to be cancelled because of Covid.
