GROUP SHOW | The Beast In Me
Discover an expansive showcase of original artworks by emerging and established artists, spanning Australia and beyond.
Courtney McClelland navigates the complicated experience of existing within a body — the restlessness under the skin, the poetics of sensation. Familiar in its form yet multifarious in its translations, the body is a repository of histories, desires, intimacies, and vulnerabilities that articulate our corporeal being. Sometimes celebratory, sometimes escapist, McClelland’s figures reveal their connective […]
With equal measure of fascination and concern, William Versace began ‘Future Unearthed’ with his own creations of plastiglomerates. Known colloquially as ‘plastic gems’, these naturally fused anthropogenic rocks are made from a mixture of natural debris and plastic, and are found embedded in the earth’s surface. As a physical marker of human impact on the […]
Personal memory, historical knowledge, and ways of remembering take form in André de Vanny’s latest body of work, negotiating between the weight of the past and the instability of the present. Both linear and cyclical, Mantle unfolds as a repository of memory, storytelling, and iconography through which de Vanny explores how we recall and make […]

NOW SHOWING.
Curatorial+Co. is pleased to present a selection of works by Eora/Sydney-based artist Jillian Nalty as part of our current group exhibition, `The Beast in Me`.
Says Nalty of her practice, "Drawn to the strange and uncanny, I often begin with observed forms and textures that stir a visceral, sensual allure. The tentacles of a jellyfish, the gills beneath a mushroom, or the sheen of a material that defies expectation. I’m captivated by visual ambiguity: how wax can appear wet, or marble can suggest softness. My aim is to create something visually arresting, whether beautiful, grotesque, or somewhere in between."
Featured work:
1. `Colony`, 2026, beeswax, pine
2. `Wipe Away`, 2026, aluminium, renaissance wax
3. `Underbelly`, 2026, polyester, pine
4. `Nailed Again`, 2026, cornice cement, wire, acrylic nails, aluminium
Exhibition on show through till 4 July.

ART CONSULTANCY HIGHLIGHT.
Spanning a 28-storey development, Levande, `The Cambridge`, in Epping is more five-star hotel than typical retirement living. The development encompasses various levels of aged care, together with dining and indoor/outdoor living spaces, games rooms, gardens, pool and gym, and a rooftop restaurant overlooking the Sydney city.
The curatorial strategy spans paintings, textiles and wall sculptures, ceramic works and site-specific sculptural installations of more than 120 original artworks.
The art curation in each lift lobby not only enhances the aesthetics of the space but also acts as way-finding, as each level sits within a specific colour scheme to aid residents in finding their bearings within the building. Brett Anthony Moore’s illuminated ‘paint skin’ works are colour coded for each level, assisting residents in locating their desired floor.

NOW SHOWING.
Curatorial+Co. presents `The Beast In Me`.
Join us this Wednesday, 24 June from 5:30-8pm to celebrate the opening of Curatorial+Co.`s upcoming group show, featuring 16 of Australia`s most exciting emerging and established at practices.
What makes these works transgressive is not their subject
matter but how they collapse the border between human and animal, self and body, civility and instinct. The beast and the artist emerge from the same ungovernable place, each carrying the dread of what they might reveal; to create from this place is to set the animal loose.
Featured work: Bruce Reynolds, `Second Time Machine`, 2025, concrete, steel.
Exhibition on show from 24 June - 4 July in our Woolloomooloo gallery. Explore artworks via the link in bio.
NOW OPEN.
Curatorial+Co. is thrilled to present `The Beast In Me` showcasing the work of 16 artists who explore the abject space between humanity and the beast within.
Join us for the opening reception tonight, Wednesday 24 June from 5:30-8pm.
Of all the internal mechanisms that drive us, perhaps the most primordial is the beast. We expel the animal, the bodily, the base in favour of the intellect, yet it is the beast that holds what is most irreducibly human—impulses and desires that precede thought: love, rage, care, protection, connection. The very thing we suppress is also the thing that touches what is most vital.
Nothing is only what we have reduced it to—look again. The beast is not just a beast. Abjection is not simply about disgust, but about the complexity of what we suppress. Rather than revealing which parts of ourselves are more animal, `The Beast in Me` considers which parts of ourselves we have expelled in order to become more human. What makes these works transgressive is not their subject matter but how they collapse the border between human and animal, self and body, civility and instinct.
On show through till 4 July in our Woolloomooloo gallery. Explore the catalogue via the link in bio.
OPENING TOMORROW.

1. `Anemoia`, 2025, pigment inkjet print
2. `Of Her`, 2025, pigment inkjet print
3. `Grid Points`, 2025, pigment inkjet print
