Showcase 2024

In Showcase 2024 new and unseen artworks are exhibited by Olivia Chamberlain, Richard Elderton, Kay Hunter, Ivan Lupi, Lucia Sidonio, Francis van Hout, Dean Venrooy, Shannon Williamson and Lulu Zeng. Each artist presents considered new artworks that build upon their practice.
Olivia Chamberlain
Forms taken from walking in the central city create a visual urban vocabulary which Chamberlain constructs and layers in her sequence paintings.
Richard Elderton
In rhythm and reflections Elderton investigates the light and movement of pendulums, suspended in his characteristic brushwork.
Kay Hunter
Hunter’s works in Showcase 2024 exhibit her explorations in gestural mark making. Her bold simplified forms welcome a multitude of readings and responses.
Ivan Lupi
The pieces from Lupi’s performance ‘Solitaire’ 243 km and 136.5 hours performance in February and March 2024 at City Art Depot are original photos of unknown family members. Their reverse side has been scratched, traced, drawn on, stitched and folded in a processing of that image by the artist resulting in the individual artworks on show here.
Lucia Sidonio
Sidonio’s painting Flight School captures the innocent whimsical nature of childhood and the relationship between adult and child. Between abstracted colour forms and removed facial features Sidonio invites the viewer to project themselves within the painting
Francis van Hout
In his new work Pounamu van Hout presents a mirror-like pool of deep colour, its surface characterised by modulations of tone and texture. The painting absorbs the viewer and their environment within its layers of distorted reflections.
Dean Venrooy
Painted in his studio tucked amongst a hillside of trees in Governors Bay, Venrooy presents a collection of gem-like paintings of tauhou painted on ocean-worn glass. Peering inwards, the dramatically staged birds have an element of mystery and beauty reflective of nature.
Shannon Williamson
Pie hole study i continues Williamson’s exploration of motherhood and caregiving. Gaping mouths, teeth, faces expressed in vivid colour and shapes are the abstract flesh with which Williamson renders emotion and anxieties.
Lulu Zeng
Shaped by her unique perspective, Zeng recaptures feelings and experiences of nature and poetic reading with impulsive gestural brushstrokes. Fluid, splashing paint and intensely scribed lines in her paintings reflect the immediacy of her responses and the intricate forms of language.
