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 […]

Of all the forces that drive us, perhaps the most primal is the beast. A closer look at selected works from `The Beast in Me` ahead of this week`s opening.

OPENING SOON.
Curatorial+Co. presents `The Beast In Me` featuring 16 of Australia`s most dynamic emerging and established art practices.
We are thrilled to show select works from Naarm/Melbourne-based sculptor Brad Gunn. With influences from science fiction, abstract art, and Renaissance sculpture, Gunn`s practice reflects his love for figurative forms and supernatural themes.
Focusing on characters and otherworldly themes they present an askew reflection of a known world that feel familiar yet alien.
Featured work:
1. `Vanity Fairgame (Pink)`, 2026, resin, synthetic fibres
2. `Moth (Blue),` 2026, resin, synthetic fibres, gold leaf, studs
Join us for the opening reception on Wednesday, 24 June from 5:30-8pm, or explore exhibition via the link in bio.

FINAL DAY.
Come by our Woolloomooloo gallery today, Saturday 20 June to experience the peace and intrigue of Amanda Schunker`s latest solo exhibition, `We are all Shady Schists.`
Open till 5pm, this exhibition is anchored in the rugged geometry of the Australian environment. Schunker`s works investigate notions of belonging, memory, and human interconnectedness.
Geological formations and fragmented outcrops become both metaphor and structure - grounding devices through which Schunker examines the relationship between place and self.
If you can`t make it into the gallery today, all works available to view via the link in bio.

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.
Meanjin/Brisbane-based artist Martina Clarke`s paintings explore her deeper subconscious. The body folds in on itself, a sense of heaviness and gravity giving momentum to the figure. Multiple limbs are recognisable, but it’s uncertain whether there is still one person or many. The abstraction of the body pushes it to the limits of creature, animal, and cryptid. Yet still, that heaviness remains a deep feeling that belongs to the human spirit.
Featured work: Martina Clarke, `Mounds`, 2026, oil on linen

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.
Featured work: Aleisa Miksad, `Hairy Mary`, 2026, porcelain mid-fire clay, glaze.

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
