The exhibition features an impressive convergence of recent works from significant Australian artists. Twenty five pairs of artist couples have been selected for the exhibition, including internationally recognised local artists James and Eleanor Avery. The exhibition also includes work by couples Clare Healy and Sean Cordeiro; Rick Amor and Meg Williams; Helen Eagar and Christopher Hodges; John Turier and Nicola Hensel; David Fairbairn and Suzanne Archer and Deborah Paauwe and Mark Kimber and Alun Leach–Jones and Nola Jones. The diversity of practice, medium and style on display in In[Two]Art, supported by an extensive catalogue for the exhibition, is enough to promise a diverse and fascinating visit.
In[Two]Art will be of interest for many visitors because of the subtle, often implied or obscure similarities that can be found or inferred between the works of two artists who are also lovers; confidants; friends; and life-partners. Creative, expressive people with common lives who are at the one time each other’s closest admirer and criticizer.
