In her paintings, the sitter’s poses are familiar, but the […] Sandra Monterosso's work brings deep-rooted indigenous culture and belief out of the margins and into the contemporary art canon.

Dyed in Wool showcases her recent work in textiles, focusing […] This digital presentation, ‘Louise Bourgeois, Self Portrait,’ invites visitors to explore ‘Self Portrait’ (2009) in great depth through a series of archival images and films, expanding and deepening our understanding of Bourgeois’s significance in 20th century art.

[…] This online exhibition is a special selection of Maria Lassnig Me's works on paper and canvases between 1987 and 2005.

In her distinctive approach to painting, Aileen Murphy generates imagery through a combination of slow layering and fast applications of oil paint, animating a delicate urgency and sparking sensations of both epiphany and discomfort.

The centrepiece of this exhibition reimagines the ‘Five Senses’ collaboration between Rubens and Brueghel, which Olivia Kemp’s new paintings reinterpret. Each painting presents one of the five senses as a figure, surrounded by imagery that illustrates the theme. Olivia’s uses these compositions as templates to bring together a stream of both art historical and personal associations. […] Chantal Joffe: For Esme – with Love and Squalor, explores the intimate act of painting and portraiture. Taking its name from J.D. Salinger’s short story For Esmé – with Love and Squalor (1950) in which time hangs as heavy as the protagonist’s ‘enormous-faced chronographic-looking wristwatch’, the exhibition captures the changing faces across the years of Chantal and […] |
