‘Looking Out, Looking In: Exploring the Self-Portrait’

On show till 6 August

Queensland Art Gallery
Contemporary society has become increasingly attuned to the self-image through social media’s ‘selfie’ culture and reality TV, providing a fascinating backdrop in which to examine the self-portrait today.

‘Looking Out, Looking In’ explores the genre of the self-portrait, a distinct form of portraiture in which subject and artist are one. The exhibition examines the human tendency to envisage oneself. While some of the artists look inwards and reflect on themselves in self-effacing ways, or may just be intrigued by their own image, others seek to project an image or identity in more flamboyant displays.

Bianca Beetson: Past, present, future
27 Aug - 24 Sept
Woolloongabba Art Gallery (@gabba_art)

It does not just reflect a literal reworking of the artist’s archive through a process of remaking, overlaying and inserting people and place. But it also echoes a few words used when an acknowledgement of country occurs, often taken out of context but having a much deeper meaning. Past, present, future; explores the notion of time and space; and the fact time is non-linear but circular. The work explores how we can simultaneously exist in the past, present and future through connection to our ancestors, our land and ways of knowing, being and doing.

This exhibition features older, reworked, and new works that all relate to the artist’s connection to country and her identity.

Opening Event: Saturday 27th August, 3pm

Sancintya Mohini Simpson: Sugar
Until 29 Oct @milanigallery

Sancintya Mohini Simpson is an artist and researcher based in Brisbane, Australia. She is a descendent of indentured labourers sent to work, from India to South Africa, on colonial sugar plantations.

Her work navigates the complexities of migration, memory and trauma through addressing gaps and silences within the colonial archive. Simpson’s work moves between painting, video, poetry and performance to develop narratives and rituals. Her practice is grounded in collaboration and community engagement, connecting wider narratives surrounding descendants of indenture and their diaspora communities.

Ella Senbruns: Chimera
Opening: 22nd Sept 6pm
@sure__studio

Chimera presents the drawings and paintings of Meanjin (Brisbane) based artist Ella Senbruns. Titled after the mythological goddess and monstrous amalgam, Chimera pushes representations of the body into the realm of the sensuous and unrecognisable. Executed within graphite, oils and mixed-media mark making, Senbruns’ figures are grotesque and alluring assemblages of flesh, objects, and plant matter. With them rove audiences, through the incoherent fringes of alien borderlands.

Hoda Afshar: Speak the Wind
Until 27 August @milanigallery

The exhibition presents video, photography and drawings made on the islands in the Strait of Hormuz. Situated off the southern coast of Iran, on these islands there is a common belief that the winds can possess a person, bringing illness and disease. Similar convictions are held in some African countries suggesting these ideas may have been brought to Iran from southeast Africa through the Arab slave trade. This history is the starting point for Hoda Afshar’s body of work.

We Are Electric is an exhibition about energy: its bodily and planetary flows, the politics of its extraction and exchange, and its inextricable connection to human evolution and industrial expansion. From the frequencies that careen between our cells—communicating with our hearts, instructing them to beat—to the electromagnetic fields that encompass the Earth and its rhythms, our bodies resonate with planetary vibrations. We are, quite simply, electric beings.

‘Ua li ua tau – Making do’

Opening: 20 Jan 10am - 5pm
@museumofbrisbane

Vanghoua Anthony’s site-specific installation for BrisAsia 2023, Ua li ua tau – Making do, explores themes of identity and belonging, tradition and innovation, dislocation and adaption.

Vanghoua Anthony reinterprets and reinvents Hmong traditions and aesthetics within an Australian context. Weaving together everyday objects and recycled materials, Vanghoua Anthony’s work speaks to his do-it-yourself attitude, instilled in him by his family and the broader Hmong community, whose experiences of migration have required them to ‘ua li ua tau’ or ‘make do’ with what is at hand.

Alexandra’s latest collection, ‘Walking Pace,’ showcases her passion for early Queensland architecture. Her intricate depictions invite viewers to immerse themselves in the scenes, as the interplay of light at dusk brings architectural details to life. The evening streetscapes unfold uniquely, with the glowing windows suggesting the presence of human lives. Through her artwork, she celebrates the fleeting beauty of nature, picking verge wattle and depicting blossom as grand Australiana centrepieces. ‘Walking Pace’ offers a mesmerizing journey through Alexandra’s love for local architecture and nature.

@janmantongallery

“In Simultaneous Disguise, all the works reveal evidence of their history through close examination of the painted surface. I’m fascinated by the possibilities of a flat surface. How can we use layering to better understand ideas of concealing and revealing? What happens when the most visible, anterior, or frontal form is hiding something that is behind? What does this tell us about visibility and appearances? How can painting help us understand more about the politics of seeing versus not seeing?”

‘A Leakage of Wholes’ is an installation of living matter constructed with industrial and found materials, and embodies pop cult interrogations in and around the current global crisis.

Working across sculpture, assemblage, installation, sound, and embodied research, Betty Russ’s practice refers to science fiction, hauntology, spirituality, the-weird-and-the-eerie.

“I am drawn to the unreal, unimaginable, the weird and eerie, and provocative ideas that emerge from experimental investigations and other possible worlds, to describe these tensions.”

Scott Breton: Confessions
29 October- 15 November
@lethbridgegallery

~ What is it to confess? A secret, hidden beneath the public face, is surrendered to view.

In this collection, Scott Breton turns to experiences connected to shame and pain, to the eternal struggle between despair and the vital lust for life. The results are dreamscapes. Or perhaps nightmares, with some containing confronting surreal imagery. Non-verbal, felt senses of the human condition, terrifying and beautiful, become a seductive black ocean, a spreading patch of blood, and the caress of golden light. Breton has made pictures of a mental jumble of conflicting forces shaping our world, from Palaeolithic cave painting, to today’s mental health crisis, to contemplations of artificial intelligence, to the practises of Sufi mystics.

In a formal sense, the life drawings included in this show are connected to the paintings by an investigation of the calligraphic, painterly mark, which has the capacity to make tangible the secret, kinetic themes that can be felt in the figure, and in the mark-making hand.

Emily McDuff: New Strength
13 October - 21 October
@thesidegallery

New Strength is a reflection on Emily’s first year of motherhood and experience of matrescence. Personal symbols, patterns, and recurring motifs interact with each other while introspective figures close their eyes and inhabit their inner world. The works consider the ambivalent nature of life transitions and how monumental life events can change our sense of identity, our perspective, thoughts, and relationships.

Emily McDuff is an emerging artist and illustrator based in Meanjin/Brisbane, Australia. She creates introspective mixed-media work that is driven by process, intuition, and emotion. She uses symbolism, the human figure, pattern, and text to explore the relationship between the inner and outer worlds. Emily studied art history and graphic design and currently works as an early childhood art educator, where she is endlessly inspired by children’s creativity.

Sha Sawari: Vernacular
15 October - 12 November

It is through language that we connect, give meaning to our existence, create cultural value and comprehend the nuance of other cultures. Vernacular aims to explore the influence of language through the experience of displacement, loss, and hope. This exhibition examines how language poses the ability to cause division and have the power to unite.

“If culture was a house, then language was the key to the front door, to all the rooms inside.” Khaled Hosseini, Afghan-born American novelist

In his recent artworks, Sha Sarwari has opted to incorporate the opulent aesthetic beauty and fluidity of Farsi script, particularly the Nataliq script, with the richness of Hazaragi vernacular. Sarwari aims to make visible Australia’s cultural diversity and question the dominance of English language in linguistically diverse country such as Australia.

Three Echoes – Western Desert Art 10 Sept - 19 N

Three Echoes – Western Desert Art
10 Sept - 19 Nov
Caboolture Regional Art Gallery

Curated by Djon Mundine OAM FAHA, Three Echoes – Western Desert Art is a stunning exhibition exploring the poetic notion of echoes – how metaphorically and metaphonically we can echo a thought, a sentiment or a consciousness.

In the 1970s, Australian Aboriginal people from the desert began talking to the world through art, transferring their creation stories of the land and people to canvas. Now in the 2020s, this foundational echo is going back and forth. No longer a one-sided, outward calling, it reverberates multi-dimensionally within wider Australian and global communities.

Following on from two sellout solo exhibitions, Brisbane artist David Hayes tells his story – a chronological depiction of life events at a point in time during the Covid-19 pandemic. Through his paintings, Hayes examines the relationship between the global and the personal; strength and vulnerability and how they are linked. ‘The story is mine, but as always, seeks to find common ground by some invisible thread, with the viewer’, says Hayes.

An exhibition opening will be held on Friday 11th November, from 6 – 8pm with the artist in attendance.

David Hayes will also present an Artist Talk on Saturday 12th November from 2pm. This is a wonderful opportunity for art lovers to learn more about his practice as he discusses his inspiration and techniques.

‘Susie Choi: Island of Misfit Buoys’
Until 3 June
@mitchellfineartgallery

Susie Choi is a Sydney-based contemporary artist who works across ceramics, sculpture and installation and is guided by ideas that confound and amuse her.

The sources of inspiration for her work stem mainly from childhood including toys and playgrounds, the material culture of South Korea, and elements of Australian popular culture.

Each body of work unfolds in a series of stages: mould-making, slip-casting, glazing and multiple firings. These processes provide opportunities for continual experimentation and refinement, and elements are kept modular in order to allow for ongoing building, rearranging and play.

The resulting forms and artworks in their soft palette of pastel colours evoke a sense of nostalgia and invite audiences to reconnect with their own childhood memories and experiences.

Susie Choi graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Art in Ceramics in 2021 from National Art School, Australia. She has exhibited in several group exhibitions in Sydney. Her work is held in public and private collections across Australia.

Zoe Wong: Oriental Futures
13 February - 12 March
@outerspace.brisbane

Oriental Futures is a photographic series exploring the oriental setting that is apparent in sci fi cinema, particularly that of Blade Runner (1982) and Blade Runner 2049 (2017). This series aims to reconcile the use of ‘Asia’ as decoration within predominantly white storylines by highlighting its appearance and making it central to the images. By placing herself in the images the artist assumes these futuristic Asian stereotypes to question her own identity in relation to how asian culture is perceived in Western cinema.

Zoe Wong’s practice explores her half Chinese, half Australian heritage as well as her queer identity through photographic appropriation and mixed media installations. Her work illustrates the complexities behind the influence that pop culture has on society’s notions of race and identity and how we perceive ourselves through representation in mass media. Wong describes her practice as a “De-Orientalising” practice in which she works to break down and critique notions of the East presented in a Western context.

Lincoln Austin’s sculptural works play across materials and scale, from intricate assemblages to expansive installations. Their artworks invite the viewer to engage and experience shifting fields of colour, movement and form. The works in Unbecoming span a variety of media including painting, sculpture and a hand-sewn quilt. Each piece follows a geometric logic but is also deeply personal, seeking to release rather than define the possibilities of form.

“Unbecoming is an amalgam of autonomous yet deeply connected objects, hopefully increasing by more than the sum of their parts. My thoughts (influenced by those of many) materially manifest through effort in time.” – Lincoln Austin, 2023

The artists’ meticulously constructed images with their inclination towards themes of luxury, beauty and decadence are both highly aestheticised and deeply contemplative.

June Tupicoff is a Brisbane based artist whose work focuses on an inherent interest in the Australian landscape. Tupicoff pays particular attention to ‘wallum country’, an ecosystem of coastal south-east Queensland extending into north-eastern New South Wales, characterised by flora-rich shrubland and heathland. Originally an abstractionist, over the course of time Tupicoff’s practice has broadened to examine the natural world in a more overt way, producing striking oil paintings and fine pastel drawings.

Kunmanara Carroll: Ngaylu Nyanganyi Ngura Winki

23 July - 1 October
Redcliffe Art Gallery

JamFactory’s annual ICON exhibitions celebrate the achievements of South Australia’s most influential visual artists working in craft-based media. Kunmanara Carroll (1950–2021) was a Luritja/Pintupi/Pitjantjatjara artist who worked at Ernabella Arts at Pukatja in the APY Lands. Concerned with passing on cultural knowledge, his paternal homeland was an unwavering source of inspiration and the recurring subject within his oeuvre of painting and ceramic sculpture.

JamFactory Icon 2021 Kunmanara Carroll: Ngaylu Nyanganyi Ngura Winki (I Can See All Those Places) is a JamFactory touring exhibition.

Warraba Weatherall: The Revolution Will Not Be Aestheticised
9 July - 13 August
@metroarts

Researched through archival materials, Australian politics, and Indigenous knowledges, the exhibition encourages a deeper insight into the construction and transmission of Indigenous knowledge systems and their direct influence in shaping social, political and cultural futures.In assessing how cultural archetypes are maintained throughout society, Weatherall builds on an existing dialogue of contemporary cultural identity to consider what encourages a healthy cultural continuum.

Including film and paintings, the artist juxtaposes the complexities of his own Kamilaroi heritage and prescribed cultural aesthetics.

- Exhibition in Brisbane

Karee Dahl: LINE, POINT, PLEIN
11 March - 3 June
@artisanqld

Karee Dahl’s creative practice is primarily concern with the processes and material relationships between textiles, drawing, painting, sculpture, and installation practice. Dahl refers to her practice as, “an obsessive manipulation of thread – a continuous drawn line of fibre.” Her works range in a variety of sizes, colours, pattern, working both aspects of two and three dimensionality, maintaining a fragility in surface quality, yet a resilience in structure, that favours a direct viewing visual experience to appreciate the material and the performative process, qualities that evade photographic documentation.

‘Line, Point, Pleine’ is a response to the 24 hour viewing space in Machinery St. The work will intervene and interrupt the quiet of this sealed window space on a busy street. An accumulation of lines of gold thread that reach and spill onto the floor, as time goes on piling, slipping, re-mingling and further spreading out across the space, mimicking the experience of window shopping with its ever changing reflections on daily life and the social lines of thinking that shape and reshape the human condition – a lived reflection, looking out and in.

This work is a continuation on a series – ‘Sketching Space in Gold, made for a space in Bastakiya Dubai, UAE in 2013

Miles Hall: GRAPHEMISM
20 July - 7 August
@janmantongallery

By using a range of both linen and aluminium supports, Hall’s new works evolve from an active dialogue between material, gesture and surface. Paint is not considered as passive matter but an active element – its inherent properties contribute to the development and emergence of both form and content.
