The Curious Intimacies is an exhibition of works on paper produced by southwest-based artist Robert Ewing over an intensive one-year period. Ewing's evocative works capture landscapes in transition; isolated and inhabited spaces that are at once familiar and alien. The Curious Intimacies charts Ewing's ongoing interest in cultural and locational notions of landscape, and how we reconcile our place within a constantly changing natural environment. @ewingarts.com.au #curiousintimacies

The title, Spring, is an apt one for Jodie Wells' latest exhibition which opens in a season when all nature quickens and we too experience a new spring in our step. Dormancy is liberated! The burgeoning energy associated with the arrival of springtime is manifest in the heavily textured surfaces of Jodie's canvases. The popularity of her work stems from her genial subjects and the appeal of sensuous, dense textures that are alive with vitality. Jodie employs a direct technique characterised by an intense involvement in the materiality of paint. It is largely an instinctive and consequently risky process as her palette knife interprets and amplifies form in thick slabs of oil. The dynamism of these 3D markings affords the paintings such a palpable presence that they assume an existence independent of the image depicted. @antheapolsonart #antheapolsonart

Artists from across the country have been working hard towards this double header exhibition and the paintings have just arrived. We are very excited at both the quality and diversity in what we are presenting. The idea to couple work by the Munupi artists from Melville Island in the Tiwi Islands whom we have a long association with and from thousands of kilometres south, the Iwantja and Ernabella artists in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) lands came about when we saw the opportunity to bring these two regions together in the perfect setting of the Engine Rooms at Turner Galleries in Northbridge. We then asked Bush Sculptor and weaver Janine McAullay Bott to reference the works and she has once again created a body of exquisite sculptures.
