Asher Bilu
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Born in 1936, Asher Bilu is a highly regarded Australian artist whose paintings, sculpture and installations are fascinating, challenging and extremely moving. He is very prolific and has been widely exhibited in Australia and Europe, with work held by major collecting institutions throughout Australia. Bilu’s technique changes as he investigates the use of new media, but his work always reflects his ongoing fascination with light, and his love of music and science, especially cosmology. Major installations include "Escape" which was part of the Melbourne Festival of 1992 and attracted 7000 visitors in 10 days, and more recently "Explanandum" and "Mysterium". He has contributed to several films by Director Paul Cox as production designer, including the acclaimed Man of Flowers (1983), and Human Touch (2004) which also features two of Bilu’s major works "Explanandum" and "Amaze".
