13 April 2024 - 21 May 2024

Zac Craig Soft Conversations

Produced in Zac Craig’s studio in regional NSW, Soft Conversations is an exploration of co-existing planes and points of reference. His works are non-representational and yet filled with forms that are clearly linked to the natural world.

Throughout his participation in many international residencies, Craig has explored the nature of painting. “I continue the long process of learning to paint and learning what paint is. I endeavour through the act of painting to further my comprehension of my materials and how to handle them effectively – to pull forth each pigment's intrinsic characteristics when requested by the painting.”

Karla Dickens Embracing Shadows

Leading on from Embracing Shadows, which was held as a survey exhibition by Lismore-based Wiradjuri artist Karla Dickens at Campbelltown Arts Centre in early 2023, this exhibition spans 30 years of practice. Embracing Shadows focuses on themes of female identity and racial injustice that are enduringly explored in Dickens’ reflections on Australian culture.

Born in 1967 in Sydney, Karla Dickens is of Wiradjuri, Irish and German descent. Through collage, painting, installation, photography, film and poetry, Dickens’ practice is a highly personal and political interrogation of Australian culture and history. Her work has featured in major group exhibitions in Australia and internationally, including A Dickensian Country Show, Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art, Art Gallery of South Australia and A Dickensian Country Circus, NIRIN: 22nd Biennale of Sydney, Art Gallery of New South Wales, 2020. She was one of nine artists selected to create a new commission for the Art Gallery of New South Wales’ major expansion project, Sydney Modern. Dickens’ artwork is held in many public and private collections across Australia and around the world.
