14.04.2022 With Wordle moving to a new home today, we figured all of our social feeds might be lacking in delightful arrangements of squares! Never fear we've taken the ...right angle on this and lined up some of our favourite geometric artworks from the collection, so you can continue to enjoy the aesthetic of the grid, or start mentally filling in the spaces with the words of your choice (...assuming, of course, this is a pattern for other people as well? ) #Wordle #Artle?

27.02.2022 'My chief interest, I think, has always been colour, but not a flat crude colour, it must be colour within colour; it has to shine.' Grace Cossington Smith OBE ...was a pioneer of modernist art in Australia. Her 1915 piece, The sock knitter, is considered to be the first post-impressionist work painted in Australia. #WomenMakeHistory #PortraitAU https://bit.ly/3ESbePu : Self portrait, 1948 by Grace Cossington Smith OBE Grace Cossington Smith/Copyright Agency, 2021

24.01.2022 Two of the exhibitions currently showing at Wollongong Art Gallery include ‘Coomaditchie: Keeping Culture Alive’ and ‘Here+Now: A Decolonist Visualisation of th...e Illawarra’. Both exhibitions are strongly interconnected as they showcase that First Nations artists are important leaders and educators in our Illawarra community. They also demonstrate the importance of storytelling through art to pass on cultural knowledge to the next generation and giving the young ones a voice. Featuring in ‘Here+Now’, Alinta Maguire’s portraits of Aunty Lorraine Brown and Narelle Thomas express the incredible impact that their work through the Coomaditchie Artist Cooperative has had for sharing cultural teachings through art with young First Nations people within the Illawarra. Additionally, Jessica Mook-Brown and Meahala Langlo-Brown act as the bridge between the two exhibitions as Aunty Lorraine’s granddaughters who have works featured in both exhibitions. All three of these artists embody the cultural values of learning about culture through artmaking. These artworks stand as reminders of the responsibility we all hold by living on First Nations country to constantly learn from the landscape and from each other to become better custodians of our world. Stephanie beaupark Artworks from ‘Here+Now: A Decolonist Visualisation of the Illawarra’ open until the 29th November 2020: Alinta Maguire, Songlines (detail, Aunty Lorraine Brown), 2020, charcoal on paper, 170 x 110cm.

01.01.2022 2021 IN REVIEW Sybil Curtis With our first year as an Online Gallery done and dusted, we're looking back at the solo exhibitions of 2021. Look back with us: h...ttps://www.mayspaceonline.com.au//sybil-curtis-structures Curtis takes photographs that form the underlying structure of her paintings, however, she does not paint records of buildings as they are but instead uses addition and subtraction to produce a coherent and visually intriguing artwork. The traditional landscape does not appeal to Curtis, as she believes there is little to add to enhance natural beauty and prefers these industrial scenes, which allow her to present her own, unique perspective to the viewer.
