Ország’s drawings are a strange mix of landscapes, portraits, and performances presented in a dream-like trance. Her drawings are inspired by found imagery and the written word, from accidental photographs and historical photojournalism to instruction manuals and religious texts. She explores the insatiable human desire for a promised land, a utopia beyond the physical limits of Earth. Presented are four Immaculate Landscapes that offer a place of respite in their meditative Rorscharch-inspired symmetrical landscapes, inviting the viewer into a state of self-reflection.

Becc Ország is a Melbourne-based artist working predominantly within the medium of drawing. Ország’s practice is primarily an investigation into sacred space and religious experience, in which she explores the practice of idolatry, the relationships between the man-made monument and concepts of the holy, sacred and divine. Her work addresses the fine line between Utopic and Dystopic ideals by critiquing widely accepted political, religious and social belief systems.
