Sweet Spot by Alichia van Rhijn presents sculptural works that reference recent personal experiences and struggles alongside early memories of childhood, both before her immigration to Australia and after. Alicha’s forms investigate phenomenological notions, alluding to personal and shared experience, memory, nostalgia, and trauma. Through the use of distilled minimalist forms, symbolic and ritualistic totems are arranged throughout the space, initiating pause and contemplation.

Continuing on from her successful Sydney Contemporary presentation we are thrilled to announce that Isabelle de Kleine’s solo body World was on Fire will be exhibiting at the gallery. “My body of work comprises a series of mixed media watercolour paintings that explore the complexities, struggles and richness of human experience," explains Isabelle. "The works speak of the dualities of love and loss, light and dark, the web of experience that weaves together the beautiful and flawed tapestry of ourselves."

The Corner of My Sky by Theresa Hunt, presents a profoundly introspective and emotionally resonant collection of oil paintings, inspired by her time residing in Italy, Romania and the coastal regions of Sydney. Drawing from her distinctive filmmaker's viewpoint, Theresa Hunt's paintings skilfully employ the dynamics of shifting light, shadow and perspective, luring the spectator into the complexity of the natural world and the vastness of the landscapes we encounter. Each piece mirrors a sense of wonder that resides within us, stirring our innermost emotions, and evoking a lucidity that dwells beneath the surface, in the depths of our being.

Our Sydney Contemporary 2023 presentation showcases the distinct artistic voices of four remarkable artists, crossing four different mediums –  Tiarna Herczeg (painting), Isabelle de Kleine (works on paper), Kate Banazi (sculpture) + Lilli Waters (moving image). Their thought-provoking bodies of work sit powerfully beside one another and engage in a diverse and dynamic dialogue that pushes the boundaries of artistic expression.

Lilli Waters' solo exhibition, Pay Attention to the Heavens, is inspired by the iconography of ancient Greek and Roman mythology, its folklore, and its religious paintings, recasting the contemporary woman as a powerful goddess of nature and a portrayal of femininity that we should celebrate, embrace, and worship. God-like enigmatic female figures are submerged within a dramatic watery cloudscape, blurring the lines between Heaven and Earth, between what we feel, and sense we may have lost within the walls of the Patriarchy. Portraying the existential dualities of light and dark, they transverse through a portal into an unknown time of fear and discomfort, longing for a deeper connection.

In this latest body of work Ben presents a series of twelve paintings which explore his affinity to many places whilst still feeling culturally transient. A SLOW MIGRATION takes us on a journey through stories and experiences as the years rolled by, and Ben became more settled after migrating from his homeland Ireland to Australia.

Curatorial+Co is delighted to present the latest solo exhibition by Lily Cummins - a series of new paintings and soft sculpture works, rich in symbols and recurring motifs, indirectly speaking to themes of loss and sorrow. Says Lily: “My practice has recently been concerned with a return to painting and installation and how the two can simultaneously coexist and diverge. This body of work is an exploration of a divergence that can occur within an inner dimension and a deeper consciousness, a dream space. The results are a strange universe of dreamlike imagery and uncanny scenes.”

Tracing back to pre-colonial Philippines, Chloe Caday retells stories of her motherland through Diwata’s Song, honouring her culture that is deeply rooted in folklore and mythology. Within this exhibition, Caday focuses particularly on the diwatas—spiritual beings that guard and nurture forests, caves, land or bodies of water. As a result, the paintings are a culmination of stories about these goddesses of the moon, stars, waters and sunrise, stories of forbidden loves, midnight mystique and the peculiar allure of flowers in bloom.

Natalie Rosin’s artistic practice is driven by a compelling desire to bridge the worlds of ceramics and architectural thought. Her work endeavours to create a space that encourages experimentation, embraces unexplored forms, and manifests intuitive structures. In this new sculptural series of work, Built Portraiture, Natalie presents a collection of ceramics, skilfully and playfully reinterpreting some of the iconic structures that evoked creative curiosity in her formative years. Natalie pushes beyond mere commemoration or celebration of these structures and challenges our perception of the spaces we inhabit, redefining the environments that surround us.

Based on time spent in the Kosciuszko National Park, Belinda Street’s new paintings evoke a sense of dynamism, movement, and emotional intensity, which are key elements associated with the sublime. The artist’s use of bold and gestural brushstrokes, combined with her mastery of colour, creates a visual experience that transcends the representational and delves into the realm of the sublime.

In Essence: Honey Milk & The Night Moth is Mim Fluhrer’s debut exhibition with Curatorial+Co. Fluhrer presents a collection of vibrant oil paintings which encapsulate the cherished and unseen moments that take place amongst the hustle and bustle of our lives. Each artwork begins with a little nudge from nature: the sound of the butcher bird on the windowsill, the royal display of the burgundy amaranth flower as it sprouts in every vegetable bed and beyond. Once pigment breaks the surface of the canvas, a spontaneous dance unfolds between brush and paint and an invitation is extended. An invitation to pause and connect with the silent contentment of those precious hidden moments.

Ingrid’s latest body of work – Shells turn to sand in a sea of infinite suns, is inspired by the landscapes that have shaped her life experience, particularly those in lutruwita / Tasmania. Ingrid strives to listen to the landscape and translate her experience into the dream-like and spiritual, imbuing them with a symbolic narrative that speaks to the deeper meanings they hold.
