AMANDA SCHUNKER | We Are All Shady Schists
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 […]

FINAL DAYS.
Experience Amanda Schunker`s `We Are All Shady Schists` in our Woolloomooloo gallery before it concludes this Saturday, 20 June.
Central to this body of work is an intuitive process of translating the physical energy of the landscape into layered fields of colour, texture, and gesture. Rhythmic mark-making and visceral applications of pigment, allow a distinct “sense of place” to emerge.
Visit the gallery from 9:30am-5:30pm weekdays and 10am-5pm Saturdays, or explore available works via the link in bio.
Featured work: `Boundary in Time`, 2026, acrylic on canvas, 93 x 69 cm
ART CONSULTANCY HIGHLIGHT.
First Nations and Hungarian artist Tiarna Herczeg recently brought the vibrant spirit of the Whitsundays to life through a major site-specific commission for The Sundays, Hamilton Island’s newest luxury resort.
Drawing on her distinctive visual language and connection to Far North Queensland through her Kuku Yalanji family, Herczeg created a suite of original paintings alongside a monumental 17-metre mural that transforms the resort`s beachfront boardwalk into an immersive visual journey, guiding guests through the landscape towards the water`s edge.
From concept development and artist commissioning through to project delivery, Curatorial+Co. was proud to lead the art consultancy for this landmark project. Working closely with the client, design team and artist, we developed a cohesive artwork strategy that seamlessly integrates contemporary art into the guest experience while responding to the unique environment of the Whitsundays.
The result is a vibrant, site-responsive body of work that captures the warmth, colour and energy of island life, demonstrating the power of thoughtfully curated large-scale public art to elevate a destination and create a lasting sense of place.

OPENING SOON.
Curatorial+Co. presents `The Beast In Me`.
Join us next Wednesday, 24 June from 5:30-8pm to celebrate the opening of Curatorial+Co.`s upcoming group show, featuring the work of 16 artists united by an exploration of the subconscious, the primal, and the abject.
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.
Exhibition on show from 24 June - 4 July in our Woolloomooloo gallery. More details via the link in bio.
“We are living through an age where our lens on the world must constantly shift and refocus as new ideas, crises, social movements and the natural environment rapidly change," says Waters. "A level of poetic consciousness is required to navigate this new world and at times hopeless landscape. Orpheus was a poet, a prophet and a musician in Greek mythology who at the end of his life worshipped no god but the sun."
"For these images, I wanted Orpheus to be a woman who is glistening oracle-like, asleep on a dark sandscape. The viewer is invited to embrace their own mortality and energy for change simultaneously. To dare to be one’s own illumination – like a transient point of light in a night sky.”

"Here, the everyday becomes strange and brittle," says Hannah Quinlivan. "What once moved freely is fixed into skeletal form, leaving behind the outline of memory. What remains is a trace, both present and gone."
`Ichthyoskeleton`, 2024, is woven from aluminium and wire - a work that holds both loss and recognition, the residue of something once lived with easily. Line made solid, movement made still, shadow made part of the sculpture itself.
