Joanna Braithwaite: Thinking With Animals opening night
6pm, Wednesday 27th November 2024 at Macquarie University Art Gallery
Humans have been painting animals for at least 45,000 years. We celebrate and honour them, we fear and plead upon them, we employ, deploy, and eat them, and we are them. And never more so than in the work of Joanna Braithwaite. Beautiful, pompous, ridiculous, shy, curious, smart, sexy, funny, social, hierarchical, scared, lonely, competitive, and companionable – with a fantastically wry imagination Braithwaite paints a human-animal menagerie of situations, emotions and connections.
Editor of Artist Profile, Kon Gouriotis OAM, will be opening the event at 6pm at Macquarie University Art Gallery, NSW.
The event is free to attend, and all are welcome. RSVP here.
