An exhibition of paintings by Canberra artist Alexander Boynes. Boynes' work explores the environmental and cultural cost of fossil fuel extraction in Australia. Through paintings in vivid, fluorescent colour, they depict tension between natural beauty and industrial violence. They inhabit a liminal space between grief and hope, loss and resistance. While the climate crisis feels overwhelming, Boynes' work conveys an assiduous belief in the power of art to bear witness, advocate for change, and nurture a vision of a more just and sustainable future.

Alexander Boynes works across painting, photography, print, and video installation, with work held in major collections in Australia, the UK, and the USA. He has exhibited nationally and internationally, including the National Museum of Australia and Center for Art + Environment (USA), and is a curator at Canberra Contemporary.
