Folio: Contemporary Australian Drawing & Print brings together a cross-section of Australian artists whose works on paper reveal the continued relevance and range of the medium today.
Alongside guest artists Tuppy Ngintja Goodwin and Kate Vassallo the exhibition features both artists long associated with drawing and others not typically known for working on paper. Together, they expand what drawing can be – a structural framework, a performative act, or an experiment in texture and tone.
Join the artists in the gallery on Thursday 20 Nov 5–7pm in our gallery at 15 Foster Street, Surry Hills to celebrate the opening of Folio.
No RSVP necessary. All welcome. -
