‘In the Still’ is the gallery’s featured exhibition for Art Month Sydney. It stages a diverse spread of works by ten contemporary artists reinvigorating and recalibrating the tradition of the still life, or nature morte.
Drawing on a tradition ripe with symbolic currency, each artist interprets the conventional mode of the still life in creative and complex ways. From the abstract to the figurative, the works collectively cultivate a dialogue between the aesthetic and the conceptual. Exhibiting artists include: Fraser Anderson, Dean Home, Leah Fraser, Heidi Yardley, Laura Jones, Kirra Jamison, Miranda Skoczek, Susan Baird, Kendal Murray and John Baird.
