Ben Ely: Unknown Sector Of The Universe

Deadline:

9 June
-
July 4
Woolloongabba Art Gallery

Unknown Sector Of The Universe is a solo exhibition by Brisbane artist and musician Ben Ely, presenting a collection of paintings that imagine a realm beyond ordinary perception. Through vibrant imagery and speculative forms, Ely constructs a world detached from the constraints of time, memory and known reality.

The exhibition explores the idea of creating a sanctuary through the accumulation of present moments. Ely describes this imagined space as a place beyond stars and form—a distant location known only to those who encounter it. The resulting works invite viewers into a mysterious and otherworldly environment where imagination, contemplation and possibility converge.

Drawing on themes of escapism, wonder and the unknown, Unknown Sector Of The Universe offers an immersive journey into a realm that exists beyond the boundaries of everyday experience.
