A Chance For Possibility

'A Chance for Possibility' explores painting as a way to reveal uncensored purposes, an unfiltered state of being, and a platform for hands to solve the riddle. Painting is a vehicle in which I can travel backwards and forwards in time to understand who I was and see who I am becoming.

Late & Light

Late & Light explores concepts of memory and time, and the way that light, movement, shadows and reflections transform our perception of space. Temporary traces become moments reimagined, captured here as the visual echoes of a place, communicating the passing of time.

We’ve Got That Yet

"We've Got That Yet" is something I heard Marriane say about Christmas cake; we were leaving the beach with our towels around our waist and she came up next to me to remind me "...there's still Christmas cake at home, we've got that yet." As soon as I got to the car I fished my phone out of my bag and wrote it in Notes, next to all the other show name ideas.

Learning Machine

CAN AI GENERATE "GOOD" ART? The advent of AI has been viewed as threat to the creativity, ambiguity, spontaneity, and uncertainty which hallmark of our very humanity. The launch of AI image generators has been met with backlash from artists who fear that the technological development threatens their autonomy and creativity.

Cutback

PHIBS is known for using many different mediums and experimenting with a diverse range of styles. However, his signature style is always recognisable. In this new body of work, he dives back into his graffiti roots which has always been the most prominent and practiced element of the work he is well primarily known for.

Define

Tracing the limits of what remains within and what must stay outside, Gory's latest solo exhibition at Collingwood's Backwoods Gallery brings together a series of large-scale works interweaving drawing, oil painting and collage. Define continues the artist's ongoing exploration of the disconnectedness that permeates contemporary human relationships.

Colony

David Cragg's exploration of cultural identity in colonial Australia is realised through a new suite of mixed-media paintings and sculptures in 'Colony'. Cragg's unique visual language draws inspiration from his suburban childhood on Gadigal land (the inner suburbs of Sydney) and his continued disillusionment with 'Australia'.

Chahar Bagh

‘Are there gaps in my identity, things lacking due to being neither fully western nor eastern, or does my identity transcend both through a third way of my own creation?’ (S. Rezaei, 2020)

Between Painters

Between Painters surveys a group of emerging female-identifying and non-binary artists from across Australia who have collaborated in an experimental project in allocated pairs.

Under Pressure

Life some times feels like an endless journey of managing the pressures and responsibilities of work, family, friends and our physical and mental well-being.

Escape Plan

The works in 'Escape Plan' are Hughes Odgers' playful and dreamlike contemplation upon the experience of searching for a balance between optimism and despair during the last two years of confinement to one geographical location, the state of West Australia.

Unseen

Paris End

Stephen Baker is known for his visually appealing and joyfully coloured scenes, which are an invitation to momentarily escape reality and delve into a fictitious world of humorous and sentimental contemplation of the human experience and the world around us.

Happy Hour

Wona Bae (South Korea) and Charlie Lawler (Australia) are a collaborative duo based in Melbourne, known internationally for their installations and sculptures that navigate the visceral and symbiotic connections between people and nature. Central to their practice are the essences of minimalism, harmony and balance. Their work combines installation, sculpture, relief, sound, and photographs documenting ephemeral interventions.
