Salon des Refuses 2020
The Salon des Refuses was initiated by the S.H. Ervin Gallery in 1992 in response to the large number of works entered into the Archibald Prize which were not selected for display in the official exhibition. The Archibald Prize is one of Australia's most high profile and respected awards which attracts hundreds of entries each year and the S.H. Ervin Gallery's 'alternative' selection has become a much-anticipated feature of the Sydney scene.Each year our panel is invited to go behind the scenes of the judging process for the annual Archibald Prize for portraiture and Wynne Prize for landscape painting and figure sculpture at the Art Gallery of New South Wales- to select an exhibition from the many hundreds of works entered in both prizes but not chosen for the official award exhibition.The Salon des Refuses exhibition at the S.H. Ervin Gallery has established an excellent reputation that rivals the selections in the 'official' exhibition- with works selected for quality- diversity- humour and experimentation- and which examine contemporary art practices- different approaches to portraiture and responses to the landscape.Visitors can vote in the Holding Redlich People's Choice Award.Covid-Safe informationWe are registered as a Covid Safe business and have new safety measures.All visitors are required to sign in on arrival if they do not have pre-booked tickets.

Conchita Carambano: New Beginnings 2020
Art2Muse Gallery presents 'New Beginnings' by Conchita Carambano.Conchita Carambano's style is highly recognisable and yet profoundly enigmatic. There is an elegance and a maturity in Conchita's abstract paintings infused by an instinctive gift with colour- line and form. The Australian landscape- our earth- have been a constant source of inspiration. It has fuelled her exploration and creativity.Her vehicle for expression has been boundary-less- and the potency of her work has fuelled an extraordinary career that continues to gather momentum. Awards- acquisitions- civic and corporate commissions- solo exhibitions and the attention of private collectors in Australia- Asia and the Middle East punctuate Conchita's burgeoning 30 year career.'When I start a painting- I focus on an idea or experience I once encountered- and let my feelings take control. At times the reaction I get is that the painting starts to take on a completely new direction to the initial one I had in mind. It takes on its own character as it were- however I am its creator and to this extent I have complete control over the end result. Because I detect this 'character'- I'm able to detect the new direction that the painting is taking and stay in complete control of its final outcome. I feel this is important to an artist. I can honestly say that when I paint a painting based on a sad feeling- I can always look at it and find it very beautiful and rewarding.' - Conchita CarambanoCovid-19 guidelinesArt2Muse is a registered Covid safe business and we can accommodate up to 6 guests in the gallery. If you are unwell- we kindly ask you stay home until you are feeling better.All artworks are available to view online and we offer a range of complimentary contactless services.

Li Jin: To Live [It Up] 2020
Vermilion Art is pleased to announce its first solo exhibition by acclaimed Chinese artist- Li Jin.To Live [It Up] has been curated by leading art critic- John McDonald- a long-term admirer of his work.From 2001-2013 Li Jin's brush-and-ink paintings were exhibited in Sydney- with great success- by the late Ray Hughes. Over the past decade Li Jin has become a global favourite- exhibiting extensively in museums and private galleries in China- Europe and the United States- where his work has been acquired by institutions such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art- New York and the Boston Museum of Fine ArtsChinese ink painting may conjure up thoughts of serene- landscapes- flowers and birds- but Li Jin takes a very different approach. Although he is steeped in tradition- and master of many techniques- his pictures are bold- whimsical and sensual - hedonistic celebrations of the pleasures of food- drink and sex - seen through a frame of self-deprecating humour.To Live [It Up]features 38 works- including a suite of 20 small- idiosyncratic coloured ink paintings- eight ink sketches incorporating his distinctive calligraphy- two painted fans- five semi-abstract ink pieces- two large- scale works on paper and one magnificent scroll painting.According to John McDonald- To Live [It Up] has a message that relates to both China's recent history and the COVID-19 outbreak: 'Having come through the hard times- we should make the most of the good times.' Or as Li Jin himself puts it: 'My appetite for life and my desire to express myself have not been diminished by the pandemic. The uncertainties have been a good test for me to keep faith in art and life.' We are COVID Safe business. For enquiries please contact us at info@vermilionart.com.au

Streeton 2020
The Art Gallery of NSW presents Streeton- a landmark exhibition of Australia's iconic impressionist- Arthur Streeton- whose brilliant evocations of light- land and sea captured the spirit and optimism of our country.Arthur Streeton is undeniably our greatest impressionist landscape painter and this exhibition reveals the seminal role he played in defining a unique vision of Australia- while exploring the evolution of his art over six decades.Featuring more than 150 paintings- drawings and watercolours from 42 public and private collections- some not exhibited publicly for more than 100 years- Streeton is an in-depth survey of the artist's unique contribution to Australian art from the 1880s to the 1940s.Two years in preparation- Streeton brings together sun-drenched impressionist landscapes from the 1880s- joyful depictions of Sydney Harbour in the 1890s- pastoral paintings from the 1920s and 30s- and a selection of artworks from the artist's international career painting in Egypt- England- Italy and WWI France.The first Streeton exhibition in quarter of a century and the most comprehensive since his 1931 lifetime retrospective at the Art Gallery of NSW- Streeton presents works from museums and galleries around Australia alongside paintings from the Gallery's extensive collection and rarely seen works from private collections.For families- there are also children's labels- a children's trail and an activity sheet with ideas for creating art at home.Streeton is supported by the NSW Government through its tourism and major events agency- Destination NSW.
