"The painting by Ken Whisson, 'Bull in Landscape', is at first glance both simple and puzzling. He plays with space as if it has no reasonable dimension and shapes are reinterpreted without limiting them as either figurative or abstract. Keith Looby, writing about Whisson for 'Art and Australia' in 1976 comments that Whisson does not think in terms of figuration breaking down to his abstractions, but simply in terms of shape relations in a non-time-dictated life experience. His work is like the breakup of the memory of a dream - pieces remain vivid and pieces depart, so that there is the passing from reason into a white-mans Dreamtime." (J Baker, op.cit., p. 25)
