“… an exploration into the nature of creativity.” As I speak with Wendy Sharpe in early May, she's busy packing up half her studio to install at the Art Gallery of New South Wales; a clear indication that her show Spellbound is going to be far from a traditional exhibition. Designed to be an exploration into the nature of creativity, it encourages the viewer to delve into the artistic process. Divided into two rooms, one is a salon-style hang of multiple works created in recent years, comprising paintings, drawings, ceramics and objects, works on paper, sketchbooks and artist books. Some works are hung very high, some quite low, some are touching, one is upside down. The display is the antithesis of the symmetrical displays characterised in commercial galleries. Envisioning the…

Art Gallery of New South Wales 15 June to 22 September 2024 Sydney In seductive, sinuous compositions, Alphonse Mucha (1860–1939) developed a new language that defined the look of late nineteenthcentury Paris and embodied the very spirit of art nouveau. This exhibition features 200-plus works from Mucha's five-decade career, including posters, illustrations, jewellery, interior decoration, and photographs, alongside an immersive digital experience of his Slav Epic series, 1912–1926. From decorative panels capturing the moods of the seasons to advertising posters for French actor Sarah Bernhardt, each piece reflects Mucha's mastery of form and capacity to communicate the essence of a new age.…

From traditional realism to dark, vibrant expressionism and crisp representational works, the exhibition visually demonstrates how mental experiences can impact perceptions of daily life. “I'm interested in the impact, in the subject matter to be transformed by the artist into something more than what it is,” says artist/curator Fleming.…

ATMOSPHERES Devonport Regional Gallery Until 10 June 2024 Tasmania Here, Michaye Boulter presents a contemporary exploration of Tasmanian landscapes, highlighting their timeless and universal qualities. “They are of places I've spent time in and are embedded with recollection and reverie, but now, in my studio, these images reworked, re-felt, and reimagined into collages, become something else,” says Boulter. “They are also a passage through reality, time, and emotion. They offer clarity and an enigma. And so, I paint to elucidate a certain feeling or atmosphere – describing the space between becoming and dissolving, intimacy and distance, presence and absence.”…

The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia Until 22 September 2024 Melbourne Grace Crowley & Ralph Balson explores the longstanding creative partnership and artistic synergies between these two pioneering abstract artists. Comprising more than seventy-five paintings and works on paper, the exhibition charts their radical leap into pure abstraction and the important role they played in shaping the modern art movement in Australia. Highlights include Crowley's semi-abstract Portrait, 1939, which anticipates pure abstraction in its total rejection of traditional modes of rendering realistic form and space; and a selection of Balson's ‘Constructive paintings’, geometric abstractions that featured intersecting planes of colour.…

Each piece is a testament to Debra Winn's profound connection with the world of dance, translating movement, light, and feeling onto canvas. Winn's monotypes showcase the fluidity and dynamism of ballet, while her impactful oil paintings encapsulate the depth of emotion experienced during these performances.…
