SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Angus Nivison
DESCRIPTION:Unfamiliar Territory is a major survey exhibition celebrating five decades of practice by one of Australia’s most respected contemporary painters. Bringing together significant works from public and private collections alongside the artist’s own holdings\, the exhibition traces the evolution of Nivison’s deeply atmospheric and abstract engagement with the land. Based in Walcha in the New England region of New South Wales\, Nivison’s practice is grounded in place yet resists literal representation. His paintings operate within an abstract and affective register\, where landscape persists as an emotional and conceptual presence rather than a fixed image. Through layered surfaces\, subtle shifts of colour and immersive fields of mark-making\, the works invite viewers into experiences of ambiguity\, beauty and contemplation. \nMarking the largest solo exhibition of his work to date\, Unfamiliar Territory reveals an artist continually pushing the possibilities of abstraction while creating space for reflection\, memory and wonder to emerge through the act of looking.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Julie Edgar
DESCRIPTION:An insightful conversation with Mornington Peninsula–based artist Julie Edgar on the opening night of her solo exhibition Fins\, Fetlocks & Feathers. \nBest known for her bronze portrait sculptures\, Edgar is also a passionate printmaker\, and this exhibition highlights her work across prints of sea creatures\, horses\, and birds. The show reflects both her artistic practice and her personal connection to the natural world. \nBirds feature prominently\, inspired by species that visit her studio\, marine subjects draw on childhood memories of rock pools and an ongoing concern for ocean ecosystems\, while her horse imagery reflects a lifelong appreciation of their strength\, intelligence\, and companionship. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to hear directly from the artist and gain deeper insight into her process\, experiences\, and inspirations.
