A Deepening into Light: Q&A with Abstract Painter Melanie Field
In Focus: Our New Pocket Exhibition Series
A Pocket Exhibition presents a focused body of up to 15 works within an intimate section of the gallery, offering collectors the opportunity to engage deeply with a meaningful moment in an artist’s practice. Rather than isolated works, this format reveals a cohesive chapter where ideas, materials and themes unfold with clarity. The series launched with Aida Smith’s Home.land, and continues with forthcoming shows by Laurette Looker and Kirsten Lovelock. Each exhibition opens with an intimate gathering with the artist, while the wider gallery remains thoughtfully curated with works from our stable of artists.
