For over three decades, Fiona Longhurst has cultivated a distinctive visual language grounded in pattern, repetition, and colour. A longstanding artist in the Arts Project Australia (APA) studio since 1991, her practice has evolved with quiet persistence, producing a compelling body of work. Her intricate fields of mark-making are animated by recurring motifs – floral forms, delicate compositional arrangements, and text. Through intuitive layering and patterning, Longhurst [...]

In the current issue of recently relaunched Art News magazine, writer Dina Jezdic observes that “to write a preview of [Alberto Garcia-Alvarez’s] show is to confront the particularity of a practice that rejects the very idea of the preview. No new body of work finished in preparation for exhibition. No theme declared in advance. Only this: 50 years in the same studio, sunk into the slope of a garden, [...]

Now in its second decade, D Lan Galleries flagship annual exhibition opens simultaneously across all three galleries, offering collectors rare access to historic and museum-quality paintings and sculpture by Australia’s most celebrated First Nations artists. At the foundation of this year’s exhibition is a selection of early Papunya paintings from the seminal 1971–72 period, including works by Kaapa Mbitjana Tjampitjinpa, Johnny Warangula Tjupurrula and Uta Uta Tjangala. [...]

MARS presents Chun Yin Rainbow Chan’s inaugural exhibition, Continuum. Continuum brings together a selection of works that reimagine the bridal laments of Hong Kong’s 圍頭/Weitou women, to whom Chan has deep ancestral ties. Through silk paintings, experimental calligraphy and audiovisual works, she translates these culturally endangered songs into contemporary forms that preserve their subversive feminist voices while reflecting on loss, resilience and solidarity.

“The worlds are busy and carefully laid out, take a look around,” shares David Booth about the works in his latest exhibition Rearranging the Universe. Extending on his practice of world building, Booth has created a library of stamps which reshape, move and rearrange with each print and reconfiguration. About this new body of work, he shares: “I’ve been building a new practice of play and experimentation in the studio; [...]

We all have an instinct to seek guidance and ask questions of the future, especially during periods of uncertainty. Throughout history, people have looked upward, outward, and inward for signs of what lies ahead. A GREAT AND WONDROUS SIGN inhabits that same space of questioning. Searching for answers and holding tension between hope and apprehension, faith and doubt. This is mirrored in materiality, combining the longevity and certainty of [...]

Jenny Topfer makes paintings that operate in a world of whispers and patient disclosure. Their communicative intent is held — undemonstrative. Such discretion remains rare but for Topfer, consideration and judgement have quietly accumulated over a long arc of time. There is simultaneously much more and much less at stake in these recent paintings. Made on either side of calamitous fires in Tasmania, fire that took many of [...]

Skin after Successive Skin is born of a story of feminine transformation, rebirth and embodiment; a story that led Elle Wickens to imagine how they felt language of the body can be recorded through material, how sensation can paint, and how painting itself speaks of, from and to the body. In this exhibition, Wickens creates an environment that echoes her own sensory tones, a space where interpretation is embodied, co-produced, [...]

Alcaston Gallery presents a significant private collection of paintings from 2003-2007 by the esteemed Tiwi artist Timothy Cook. This collection of historical significance and provenance exemplifies a moment in time when the collector focused on the emerging artist and his career development at Jilamara Arts and Crafts in Milikapiti on Melville Island, north of Darwin in the Arafura Sea. Timothy Cook’s art practice is now celebrated worldwide [...]

Barkindji artist, Kent Morris, creates a new series of works starring a very small yellow flower with an incredibly powerful story. For thousands of years, the tubers of the murnong (yam daisy) were a staple food for First Peoples throughout the southeast of Australia, cultivated and harvested in the millions from abundant yellow fields. Following the forced introduction of European farming practices, the murnong almost became extinct and [...]

Michelle Anderson‘s Kanpala, presented in association with Spinifex Arts Project, brings together a new suite of paintings that depict her grandmother’s Country at Kanpa. “The old people would walk from rockhole to rockhole, collecting wild foods on the way. They knew the bush plants that were good to eat, how to make flour by grinding the small millet seeds they collected and then baking bread on the fire. [...]

At The Centre brings together artists from Central and Western Desert Art Centres, sharing stories both old and new from the heart of Central Australia. Drawing on their surroundings, the works depict lush bush medicine plants, vast desert landscapes, playful scenes of contemporary Town Camp life, and powerful Tjukurpa. Together, they reflect enduring connections to Ngura—home, place, and Country. Even across great distances, these works invite audiences to [...]

Explore ‘Fragments of Urban Essence’, where the vibrant pulse of city life is revealed through a striking collection of works painted on repurposed plaster walls sourced from the artist’s urban explorations. Transforming discarded materials into textured surfaces, this exhibition reflects the shifting nature of our urban environment, inviting viewers to uncover layered histories in familiar streets and consider their connection to the evolving urban landscape.

“Lottie Consalvo’s exhibition, Of the Night, is an invitation to cross between worlds. It is in the night, where the air has a different texture, one Consalvo says she can touch, that the space between the world we inhabit day-to-day and the spiritual world blurs. Her paintings animate that precipice and what lives beyond it — the effigy you reach for in the dark, the blurred image that [...]

THIS IS NO FANTASY presents In Between Forms, the first solo exhibition by Ara Dolatian since joining the gallery. The exhibition explores unstable states between human, animal and the monstrous, drawing on Mesopotamian female deities, queens and poetic traditions — particularly the voice of Enheduanna and The Exaltation of Inanna. Through sculpture, Dolatian reimagines ancient acts of invocation as contemporary forms of transformation. Influenced by feminist and queer readings of Mesopotamian [...]

Petal as Pixel draws on an enduring fascination with Lawrence Alma-Tadema’s The Roses of Heliogabalus (1888), reimagining its themes of seduction, excess, and latent violence through a contemporary lens. Comprising over 80 works, the exhibition centres on a large suspended mobile of mirrored surfaces, chains, and collaged imagery, precariously assembled in situ. As elements shift, reflections fragment and multiply, enveloping the viewer in a disorienting visual field.
