24.01.2022 'Elohim Powers' by David MILNE (Acrylic on Irish linen, 2020, 91 x 91 cm, $4500) Coming to Metro Gallery on February 24th is 'Spiritualisation of the Matter', an exhibition of recent paintings and sculpture by David Milne.... Milne’s abstract compositions demonstrate his understanding of colour, line, and shape that has been developed and refined over more than fifty decades of his artistic career. The symbols and patterns within Milne’s works combine his interest in the seventeenth-century engravings on the subject of alchemy with an acute awareness of Modernist, Constructivist, and Contemporary aesthetic trends. The Scottish-born David Milne has been living and working in Australia since the late 1960s. He has held over thirty solo exhibitions, including a survey exhibition, which was organised by Museum Victoria and toured nationally between 1993 and 1996.

22.01.2022 'What will get you up tomorrow' by Saxon QUINN (Mixed media, 83 x 113 cm, $2,700) Metro Gallery is excited to present 'Only One in the Room', an exhibition of recent paintings, sculpture, and installation works by SAXON QUINN, opening Wednesday 24th February.... Like so many artists, Saxon had created this body of work during the period of Melbourne’s 2020 lockdown whilst in physicalas well as spiritualisolation. Only one in the room acts as my daily meditation, a way to battle my demons and calm my inner thoughts. From sketching shapes in my notepad and pouring cement, to forcefully making myself wait 48 hours whilst the cement sets, all work as a calming ritual. Everything stops during these moments and nothing else matters" - @saxonjjquinn To view the full catalogue of works from Saxon's exhibition, send us a DM or email us at [email protected] #artexhibitions #exhibitionopening #melbourneartists #artsales #urbanart

04.01.2022 SHOWING NOW Jorna NEWBERRY Metro is honored to be showing 'Ngintaka - Perenti', an exhibition of recent works by Pitjantjatjara woman Jorna Newberry (b. 1959). Based in Alice Springs, Jorna paints about her country, referring to its topographical vastness and the rich history of ancestral stories that are embedded in the land. Jorna's paintings speak of the sacred Tjukurrpa of Aboriginal people, passed down through generations via the stories and songs of the old people tha...t travelled across the country. "For tribal people from the desert, their Tjukurrpa is sacrosanct. Tjukurrpa is a paradigm like art or law or science. Tjukurrpa gives order and meaning to Aboriginal society. It explains how Aboriginal people came to be and the details of the spirit ancestors responsible for the creation of everything. For them Tjukurrpa is not a metaphor, it exists". - Ken McGregor, 2021 ___________________________ Jorna NEWBERRY 'Ngintaka-Perentie', 2019 Synthetic polymer on linen 122 x 182 cm $9,500 For all enquiries into Jorna Newberry’s works, send us a DM or email us at [email protected] #jornanewberry #artexhibitions #artsales #indigigenousart #aboriginalart #aborigionalartists #tjukurrpa #perentie
