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.

Discussing his latest paintings, Cheesman says, "For a long time I`ve said I`ve wanted my paintings to look somewhere in between a stained-glass window and a melted candle, never when I said that did I think I`d actually start painting the subjects themselves, it was more of how they might appear from a distance or really close up, the texture of the painting and the use of bold contrasting colours close side by side."

OPEN NOW.
We are thrilled to welcome you to our @sydneycontemporary presentation, `Super Natural`.
Through painting, sculpture, and material experimentation, each artist constructs environments that feel at once familiar and otherworldly, where figures drift in and out of perception, and where fantasy and reality coalesce.
Visit us at Booth E02, Sep 3-6, @sydneycontemporary at @carriageworks.
