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.
We would like to do a shout out to these folk who are hitting their artistic balls out of the park (or some other appropriate sporting metaphor!)
Ro Murray,who has been selected for the 19th Arte Laguna Prize in Venice (go Ro!!!!).
Michelle Connolly and Mary Stack, who are both finalists in the National Emerging Artist Prize 2024 (on until 9 November at The Garden Gallery, Royal Botanic Gardens of Sydney).
Dior Mahnken, who received the Honourable Roger Jaensch MP Runner-Up Award in the Paper on Skin competition (on until 16 November at the Devonport Regional Gallery).
You can also see work from these artists in shows here at Tiliqua Tiliqua. (Mary has work in the gallery right now! And Michelle has an exhibition opening here on 31 November.)
Congratulations Ro, Michelle, Mary and Dior! We are so proud of you all.
This is very exciting for us. The first big outing for Tiliqua Tiliqua.
We will be in booth B14 in the Paper Room. Drop by and you will find Kate and Felix, as well as the amazing artists Marco Luccio, Ro Murray, Michelle Connolly, Katika Schultz, Fiona Ferguson and Brigitta Summers in booth B14 in the Paper Room. We will be showcasing so many wonderful works on paper, so much variety of works on paper. And of course, the Paper Room is the place to be at Sydney Contemporary. In our (not so humble opinion) that is where all the good stuff is.
We will also be showcasing works from some of the other fabulous artists who are regulars in the gallery including Jennifer Burns, Carol Muller, Yori Price and Andrew Ensor.
You can find out more about what we are going to showing here.
See you at the Paper Room, Sydney Contemporary 2024!
2023 was an extraordinary year of growth and learning for us here at Tiliqua Tiliqua. We would like to thank all the artists and art lovers who have made it such a fun and rewarding time.
But now it is 2024. As I write this we have thirty (30!!) exhibitions booked in, so get ready for some amazing art.
We kick off on the first of February with ‘Dark Alphabet’ from long-term gallery friend, Matthew da Silva. Then we welcome guest curator Sage Blake Rivers and two provocative shows to coincide with World Pride 2024. We are also very excited to announce that February will see the first of our Life Drawing in the Gallery sessions.
Stay tuned to hear more about all these events, and the 28 other offerings we have in store. See you soon!
After our brief break we’re back with a truly enchanting exhibition.
Andrew Ensor has been exploring castles as a visual motif for more than 20 years. This, his 37th(!) solo exhibition, is a retrospective bringing these delicate and dreamlike drawings together. His pieces, softly merging pen and paint, present a romanticised, yet fragile view of the world while exploring the aesthetics of entropy.
Drop by the gallery to experience these richly coloured worlds of surreal landscapes and architectural compositions, telling intricate stories of grandeur, fragility and timelessness.
We are taking a little break to focus on our own creative work. You can still drop in to see us, and the art from the stockroom we have selected for the walls. Just note the somewhat reduced opening hours…
12–4PM TH-SU UNTIL JULY 9
Then we are back with a bang and Jennifer Burns’ witty and charming new exhibition ‘Birds on Things’.
‘First Drawer’ has to have been one of our most successful shows to date. There were crowds of happy people admiring the wonderful, colourful (and affordable) prints and collages from these two talented artists, and so many sales! If you missed out this time, I believe they will be back next year…
Thank you to Emily and Sabrina, and thank you to all of you wonderful art lovers supporting us and them.
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
