MITCHELL CHEESMAN | A Sip From Stained Glass
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 […]

LAST DAYS.
Mitchell Cheesman’s paintings vibrate with an energy and exuberance that defy their classification as still lifes. Thickly applied in impasto oil, their rich, glossy surfaces are almost edible, slathered onto the canvas with the same playful abandon as the compositions themselves.
You can still enjoy these luscious paintings in the Woolloomooloo gallery until Saturday, 26 September.

COMING SOON.
Curatorial+Co. is delighted to present the latest body of work by Kate Banazi, `You Get Me`, in our Woolloomooloo gallery from 30 September – 17 October.
JOIN US for the opening celebration on Wednesday 30 September 5:30–8pm.
Kate Banazi’s practice is anchored in the human body — drawn from life, then pulled apart into fragments of line, limb, and edge that shift, repeat, and resist fixed meaning. The body moves through sketch, computer, photograph, screen, and print, each layer adding distortion.

INTERIOR AS SELF-PORTRAIT.
Artists have long used the interior as more than a backdrop. From Matisse and David Hockney to Margaret Olley and Brett Whiteley, the rooms they paint become akin to self-portraits, where objects, colours and details evoke a deeply personal narrative.
Mitchell Cheesman picks up this tradition in his own distinctive way, filling his interiors with the objects of his world, each bar stool or tchotchke embodying an experience or memory. The result is a playful, idiosyncratic take on the interior, where familiar things are rearranged into forms not seen before.

There are a few recurring characters in Mitchell Cheesman’s latest body of work - Venus flytraps, flowers, stained-glass windows - but for some fans, the motif they’re most excited to spot is one of Cheesman’s signature cats.
Joining a long tradition of cat aficionados, from Picasso to Renoir, Cheesman’s cats roam confidently through his canvases, appearing as symbols of new experiences, familiar comforts and memories of home.
Mitchell Cheesman`s `A Sip From Stained Glass` is on show at the Woolloomooloo gallery until 26 September. The online catalogue for the exhibition is available via the link in the bio.
