Sometimes celebratory, sometimes escapist, McClelland’s figures reveal their connective […]

NEW ARTIST | DAMIEN SHEN.
We are thrilled to announce that Damien Shen is now represented by Curatorial+Co.
Shen, an artist of Ngarrindjeri, Kaurna and Chinese descent living and working on Kaurna land, Adelaide, creates art that deeply reflects his dual heritage and personal identity. Through his work, Shen challenges traditional views of Australian identity and Aboriginal art, using his talent to explore contemporary issues around race, history, and politics.
It’s been a remarkable year for Shen, with ten finalist selections in art prizes nationally, including the Koori Mail Indigenous Art Award, Fisher’s Ghost Art Prize, and the Artbank Art Prize. His moving image work, ‘My Cuzzy Nate and the 654 Club’, 2025, received the $10,000 First Nations Artist Prize at the 2026 Gosford Art Prize.
We’re thrilled to have Damien Shen join our stable of artists and look forward to sharing more of his work.
