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 […]

We are delighted to reveal that André de Vanny`s `Duende` 2026, has been acquired by Artbank.
One of the most significant collections of Australian art, @artbankau`s acquisition underscores de Vanny’s growing recognition within the art world.
Says the artist of this work, "I began by staining the canvas in thin washes over many months. Each wash carried rich and dense phthalo and ultramarine pigments, which allowed the dark blue colour to deepen whilst still preserving the raw finish of the unprimed canvas. Eventually it came time to paint into this ground, and I looked to Giotto`s St Francis Cycle, specifically in this case `The Exorcism of the Demons of Arezzo`. Rather than attempting to replicate a transcription of the original work, I approached the painting process more like recalling a memory, drawing only loosely on the reference for some compositional placement and colour suggestions. The goal was to paint faster than I could think, to work almost blindly, and to discover new figures and forms within the scene."
Congratulations, André!

JOIN US FRIDAY.
`A Sip From Stained Glass` by Mitchell Cheesman is open and we`re ready to see you at the opening reception tonight, Friday 11 September, from 5:30pm-8pm.
Says Cheesman of these new paintings, “Everything within these works feels like it’s being seen through colour as though from within a new sanctuary. For me, the stained glass represents that outlook in its most honest form; small fragments of glass can make up a shape with light-filtered beauty introducing curves and rectangles of blues, pinks, and greens. The small fragments I collect out on the street when I’m walking around become those moments on the canvas, placing them around the surface in an array similar to how a stained-glass window is made.”
`A Sip From Stained Glass` is open 10-26 September. You can also explore the online catalogue via the link in bio.

OPEN NOW.
We are delighted to present the latest body of work by Mitchell Cheesman, `A Sip From Stained Glass` running 10-26 September.
JOIN US Friday 11 September, 5:30pm-8pm for the opening reception at our Woolloomooloo gallery.
Still life is Mitchell Cheesman’s enduring subject. Painting in thick impasto oil, he treats the genre as a structure capable of holding almost anything: landscape, interior, object, place.
Says Cheesman: “For a long time, I’ve wanted my paintings to appear somewhere between a stained-glass window and a melted candle. Never did I think I’d actually start painting the subjects themselves – it was more about how they might appear from a distance or really close up through the texture of the painting and the use of bold contrasting colours side by side.”
