• 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.

  • Tom Blake
    Tom Blake

    Tom Blake’s practice draws on fragmented moments, looped imagery and recurring motifs as potential sites for contemplating the psychological, architectural and technological frameworks that surround us.

    'Most of the work I do starts with drawing,' says the artist about his wide-ranging practice. The drawings are then fragmented and redrawn, and the new compositions incorporated into cyanotypes, hand-etched de-silvered mirrors, mobiles and installations. 'There's a balance between concept and formalism, and where those two meet,' explains Tom.

     

    Tom has exhibited in Australia, Japan and Italy, and has undertaken residencies with Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts (PICA), Museo de Arte Moderno Chiloé (MAM), Fremantle Arts Centre (FAC), North Metro TAFE, Sapporo Tenjinyama Art Studio, and Parramatta Artists’ Studios. He was a 2013 recipient of a Clitheroe Foundation Mentorship.

  • Natasha walsh
    Natasha walsh

    Natasha Walsh's practice is informed by an understanding of the artist as an alchemist. Known for her transformation of pigments on copper surfaces, Walsh's work acutely observes delicately-painted figures that emerge from the surface. ‘From the moment that I prepare the surface, it begins to naturally oxidise. I experiment with applying different ground pigments which change colour in response to this process. These paintings visibly age as I work on them. As such, my attempt to transfix time is inherently impossible and this interests me.’

     

    Walsh has been a recipient of multiple awards, prizes, and scholarships, including The Brett Whiteley Travelling Art Scholarship, Mosman Art Prize, and The Kilgour Prize, and has been a finalist in The Archibald Prize four times, The BP Portrait Award (London National Portrait Gallery), The Royal Scottish Academy Annual Exhibition (Edinburgh), and The Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition (London).

  • CHRISTOPHER ZANKO
    CHRISTOPHER ZANKO

    Christopher Zanko is an artist based in the Illawarra/Dharawal region of the New South Wales south coast. Drawing on the architecture and culture of his hometown, he reimagines suburban environments through a distinctive, deeply personal lens.

     

    Influenced by Japanese woodblock carving, Zanko focuses on the details that shape domestic identity – from red brick facades to tyre swans and terrazzo porches. Through meticulous, meditative carving, he preserves these quiet suburban markers as enduring records of place and memory.

     

    A finalist in the Brett Whiteley Travelling Art Scholarship, Sulman and Wynne Prizes, and the King’s School Art Prize, his work is held in major collections including the White Rabbit Collection, Museums of History NSW, Wollongong Art Gallery, and the University of Wollongong.
