We want your artworks!

The end of the year is approaching fast, and so is our final open call group show for 2024.

We are looking for small works, works that would make great Christmas presents! That’s all there is to the brief (it’s a brief brief). So if you think this sounds like something you can do, click on the link and read on. We are looking forward to having your work in the gallery.

Small Works Show 2024 Information

Let’s make it Magenta

Tiliqua Tiliqua is nearly two years old! We’re calling artists to help us celebrate with our Annual Exhibition. This year the theme is the colour Magenta, which should make for a very uplifting show.

This is an open call out, anyone can submit work. Just read the information, put your happy music on and make art!

(Info and submission forms are here.)

Welcome back Nectarios!

One of our favourite painters is back with a fabulous new series of some of the most extraordinarily affordable art you will ever see.

With ‘Abstracticus’ Nectarios is exploring (and playing with) the joy and meaning of colour. This is one of those shows where it is almost impossible to choose a favourite painting. Here are a few of mine, but why don’t you check out the show and see what you think!

And join Nectarios for drinks and nibbles in the gallery Thursday 5 October from 6 to 9 pm.

‘See Through’
‘Road Less Travelled’
‘Fallen Houses’

one door closes… but our doors are open!

We are so glad the judges of the Archibald, Wynne and Sulman prizes have made it possible for us to feature this amazing work at Tiliqua Tiliqua.

Featuring work from four of our favourite artists — Jennifer Mullen, Louise Beck, Dilara Niriella and Nectarios Livisianos — this is our very own Salon des Refusés. Unfortunately we can’t offer any of them a big prize, but we can offer you some gorgeous art to look at, or even own.

All the details and a preview of the paintings are here.

Join us for drinks with the artists from 6–8 pm Tuesday June 6.

Gallery open 12–6pm Th-Sa & 12–4pm Su till June 19

Dilara Niriella — ‘oh my god, remember that?’

This is an exhibition to bring some unadulterated joy to your life!

Dilara explores the images that defined her childhood (and probably yours) in this series of bright, nostalgic paintings. From jelly beans to tiny teddies, this is a delicious mouthful of a show.

Join Dilara (and us) for a drink at the opening Thursday 25 May from 6pm.

GALLERY OPENING HOURS: 12–6PM THURSDAY–TUESDAY, 25–30 MAY 2023

Don’t miss the CYAN exhibition…

We’ve made it easier for you by extending the show till Sunday May 7. So come in and enjoy all the great art, pick up a present for the mother in your life (or just yourself) and, if you drop by on the last day, have a drink with us.

See you there, you’ll be glad you came!

CYAN is here!

We are so excited to bring you our inaugural annual group show — CYAN.

Featuring many of the artists who have made our first year in the gallery so enjoyable, this exhibition is a celebration of the colour blue. And it truly is a celebration! The artists have responded to the theme with playful, joyful and moving artworks across an impressive range of mediums. All at a convenient size and price too.

Please come and help us mark the first anniversary of our first show in the Tiliqua Tiliqua gallery. Because the only people as important to us as the artists who have contributed, is fantastic art-loving folk who have supported us and joined us on our journey. See you at the party on Saturday 20 April!

(Or drop by anytime the gallery is open, we can probably rustle up a drink…)

GALLERY OPENING HOURS: 12–6PM THURSDAY–SUNDAY 20–30 APRIL 2023

look twice — works from the back room

While we are preparing for our next big exhibition (Cyan—it’s going to be a stunner!) we have put together a collection from our stockroom for you to enjoy (and maybe take home with you).

Drop in, we’d love to see you!

GALLERY OPEN 12–6PM FR & SA 31 MARCH, 1, 14 & 15 APRIL
OR BY APPOINTMENT

Preview the art

Congratulations Nectarios!

Another show has closed, but with a fine finish. Thank you to all the people who braved the terrible weather to come and celebrate with us on Saturday. And thank you to the art lovers who made it such a good day for Nectarios, so many red dots!

Stay tuned for news of our next big show, opening April 20. In the meantime, the gallery will be open limited hours with a display of recent works from gallery regulars.

See you all soon!

Two great artists, one fantastic show

Another combination of two very different artists to make the gallery sing!

Nectarios Livisianos is a painter exploring collage, paint and recycled canvases to make a series celebrating colour and life.

Felix Oppen is a photographer fascinated by entropy, chaos and the small things that catch our eye and make us think.

So join us at Tiliqua Tiliqua this week for some fabulous art—drop by on Saturday after four and make that fabulous art, food and drink!
