This week is the final week to see Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran’s ‘Liquid Vessels’ currently on view at our Naarm/Melbourne gallery, before it closes on Saturday 06 June.

Returning to the “first principles” of ceramics, Nithiyendran approaches the archetypal vessel not as supporting structure, but as an active presence: part body, part object, part sacred technology. Figures and vessels fuse. The container becomes animate.

‘Original Sin’ continues de Medici’s longstanding commitment to painting as a site of resistance, where beauty does not soften violence but makes it harder to ignore.

Now open in the gallery, we invite you to experience the exhibition online via the viewing room or at Sullivan+Strumpf Gadigal/Sydney. *Note there is no opening event for this exhibition.

eX de Medici brings together works that demand close attention. At first, the paintings appear alluring, precise and controlled, but their beauty is never neutral. Beneath the surface, de Medici builds a visual field shaped by tension: between delicacy and brutality, image and warning.

Featured in the latest issue of Belle Magazine, Yang Yongliang’s ‘Battery Park’, 2024 is situated in the library of harbour-front project by architect Diego Balagna in Vaucluse.

With a practice founded in ancient Chinese Song dynasty landscape painting and developed with evolving digital technologies, Yang Yongliang re-constructs the familiar urban environment to create a contemporary view and commentary on our world.

We invite you to register your interest in eX de Medici’s forthcoming exhibition ‘Original Sin’, opening at Sullivan+Strumpf Gadigal/Sydney on May 28th.

‘Original Sin’ presents a profound new body of work that explores contemporary urgencies through paintings of extraordinary precision and symbolic depth. A number of paintings in the exhibition feature elegant Chinese calligraphy, inscribed in collaboration with the artist Wu Wei Rong, further enriches the visual language of these captivating paintings.

At the heart of the exhibition is the monumental six-panel work, ‘Golden Land’. On first glance, this painting has the allure of a grand Chinese painted screen, with exquisite cloud forms floating across a luminous gold ground. However, a closer look reveals a darker truth - the clouds bristle with a variety of horrors: a nest of snakes, rains of arrows, and an arsenal of state-of-the-art machinery of war. The sky contains the threat of things to come, as the darkening clouds signal mankind’s relentless war against itself and all living things.

‘Golden Land’ is a searing, unambiguous indictment of our contemporary condition, exemplifying de Medici’s ability to create works of beauty that confront the urgent realities of our time.

“You’ve got to see it to understand it,” Albert says. “You’ve got to see it in large volume ...It takes your breath away, the abundance of these objects. Do they have any monetary value? No. But their cultural value in the sense of the way in which we think as a society is very important.”

Tony Albert features on the cover of today’s Spectrum magazine ahead of the fast approaching opening of his major survey exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia on the 21 May.

“She reaches up. She flowers. She knows.” – Sanné Mestrom, 2026

We are pleased to share that Sanné Mestrom’s sculpture ‘What the Body Knows’ has received high commendation in the 2026 Wynne Prize at the Art Gallery of New South Wales.
Congratulations to the winners of the Archibald, Wynne and Sulman prize today!

“So much understanding begins in the body, not the head.
As a sculptor, it begins the moment material starts talking back. Bronze resists. Pigment pools, dries and changes. I push, and something pushes back. This is how the sculpture was made – and what the sculpture is about.
From each raised palm, a bronze flower grows. The hands, not the head, are the site of growth, touch, labour and doing. This figure holds her arms wide, insisting on the intelligence of the body.
My own body, as both a maternal body and a sculptor’s body, learns from the inside. It understands through weight, warmth and the reciprocal press of one body against another.
She reaches up. She flowers. She knows.”
– Sanné Mestrom, 2026

Featured in Artforum: Jemima Wyman’s ‘Deep Surface’, a major survey exhibition at QUT Art Museum reviewed by Wes Hill.

“These days, the idea of social unity seems elusive, and public protest is entangled with performative outrage—at least in areas of the world where dissent remains possible. Over the past three decades, Jemima Wyman has exuberantly navigated the fragmentation of political solidarity via a singular obsession with DIY aesthetics of concealment.“ – Wes Hill, Artforum, 2026.

Read the full text at the link in bio.

Spanning the mid-1990s to the present, ‘Deep Surface’ traces Wyman’s visually and politically charged practice, examining camouflage, collective organising, and the shifting dynamics of democracy and dissent.

Continuing in our Gadigal/Sydney gallery, Natalya Hughes’ most personal exhibition to date, ‘The Lean’.

Experience her works in person until or access them online via our viewing room at the link in bio.

“Hughes work transmutes the decorative external to represent the shifting internal. Her figurative forms play with folds, ruffles and knots, their layered fabric provoking a feeling of constriction. Their containment is amplified by delicate and decorative borders and the uncharacteristically figurative Art Deco hands that reach out from the forms in a way that is both seductive and confrontingly alien. Even in her intentionally flat style, the ribbons and ruffles in her abstract works are shifting and writhing, a testament to her precise line work. Her monochromatic colour scheme and romantic settings sometimes border on the gothic”
– Sal Edwards
