Evergreen 1 - 24 May 2025 The exhibition “Evergreen” is inspired by the space between dream and memory, play and identity, and stories of creative imaginings inspired by places in the natural world that hold onto your heart and become intrinsic to your sense of well-being. They are the places that awakened our senses to the... Read more -
Fabrizio Biviano
Monologues 3 - 26 April 2025 The books in Fabrizio Biviano’s paintings are stacked upon one another, like parallel universes of knowledge lying dormant between the covers. Literary classics, philosophy texts and political journalism rub up against science fiction, popular fiction and self-help treatises. The evidence of each book’s passage through time – its writing, production,... Read more -
Scott Duncan
Garden of Earthenware Delight 3 - 26 April 2025 Scott Duncan’s whimsical sculptures function as both ode to and subversion of the history and traditions of ceramics.

Dean Bowen
Flourish 6 - 29 March 2025 Why, as I have observed recently while in an art-endowed public space, does Dean Bowen’s art stop people in their tracks — whether they be young or old and of varying interests and ethnicities? Firstly, his sculptures, paintings and prints are unique. Although related in numerous ways to other instantly... Read more -
Melbourne Art Fair
Robyn Sweaney, Drift 20 - 23 February 2025 Drawn to the exterior of modest homes in the Australian landscape, Robyn Sweaney paints tightly choreographed works that respond to the philosophical and ontological currency of the built environment.

John Baird
Port Jackson, Still Lifes and Otherwise 6 February - 1 March 2025 John Baird’s latest exhibition at Arthouse comprises two-thirds seascapes and one-third still life. Both are familiar subjects, though each has been given a dramatic twist.

Lauren O'Connor
Two Moons 7 - 30 March 2024 Lauren O’Connor’s practice reminds us that the natural world is in constant flux, re-affirmed in each painting to the point of mantra. Her works are disorderly stratums of decisive, colourful brushwork; each bed of paint either obfuscates or reveals a window to the preceding. What we see in the surface... Read more

Leah Fraser
The Thin Places 7 - 30 March 2024 Leah Fraser is enchanted by the universal psyche that has connected civilisations, both ancient and contemporary, throughout history. “It’s so interesting that as humans we have these stories that are parallel to one another, it reflects our way of explaining the world and nature and science, before there were words...

A Fragile Strength – Sydney Contemporary 7 - 10 September 2023 Clifford How’s newest series, ‘A Fragile Strength’, is a painterly ballad of Tasmania’s ancient wilderness.

Danelle Bergstrom
Entwined 2 - 25 March 2023 When I visit Danelle Bergstrom's Hill End studio in July 2020, it is raining, and the village is washed in a misty haze.

Robyn Sweaney
Living on the Edge 21 September - 15 October 2022 I don’t think Robyn Sweaney and I are the only people who harbour an emotional connection to the humble working and lower middle class homes of the immediate post-War period.
