Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery at Sydney Contemporary
The Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery’s booth of carefully curated works at Sydney Contemporary 2024 is drawn from their archive, which includes key historical moments, over the gallery’s forty-two-year history. A history of discovering and supporting some of the most recognisable Australian artists, alongside international artists, whose work is often unconventional, sometimes confronting, but always thought provoking.

Jenny Watson
Jenny, you grew up in suburban Melbourne and you have spoken about how that experience hugely influenced your practice. Now you split your time between rural Queensland and Europe. What motivated you to pursue opportunities overseas? As a graduate in the 1970s I felt that I was at the end of the world and certainly […]

John Wolseley: Intelligence with the Earth
“I suppose it all started when my mother committed suicide, when I was five.” John speaks deeply, slowly, every word heavy with the weight of a lifetime. Boulders roll off his tongue with heart-knocking profundity, and yet he is impossibly eloquent, sentences feather-light and frank. John tells me about the origins of his love for the […]

James Angus
In 2017, Angus and his wife, artist Liz Linden, decided to leave New York and move to California. “It was a period of consolidation, and I didn’t make a lot of work. I started a fairly intense renovation of a beautiful but terrifying Victorian house in Berkeley and set up some studio spaces, so everything […]

Peter Hill’s Top Ten Picks from Sydney Contemporary 2022
Peter Schjeldahl, the great American art critic for The Village Voice, and now The New Yorker, once described the visceral experience of viewing the astonishing late works of Willem de Kooning at the Metropolitan. “The effect was like a plane taking off, when the acceleration presses you against the seat. The painting’s violent intelligence detonated […]

Dale Frank
There is an argument to be made that his work is a by-product of his very remarkable life; or that his paintings exist to support a range of other, very diverse, passions and projects. I could write about the way his multi-coloured pigment is poured like liquid toffee, and how the pull of gravity creates […]
Bill Henson
Bill Henson is preparing for an upcoming show. He says that “new pictures grow out of old pictures. With these recently completed works there has been a twenty-two year gestation period.” Particular modes of figuration, themes, and textures have remained interesting to the artist over his career: young people in the fragile dawn of their […]

Isaac Julien in Australia
Isaac Julien confessed to Laura Barnett in a Guardian article in 2013 that he was a frustrated painter. Therefore, it’s unsurprising that his film and video works are so painterly, that his installations inhabit gallery spaces, and his picture-making within each frame is so considered and visually poetic. Like Francisco de Goya and Gustave Courbet […]

Imants Tillers: As soon as tomorrow
In a statement accompanying the exhibition, Tillers notes that “It all began with the shock of a fire in 2019 which destroyed Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris. Could this have been a portent of the coming apocalypse? The devastating fires in Eastern Australia followed soon after, only to be eclipsed by a plague which is still […]

Kaylene Whiskey
In Whiskey’s new show, ‘Sistas,’ we’re in good company: Dolly Parton, Cher, Tina Turner, Catwoman, and David Hasselhoff are with us. The works across this show, with their exuberant playfulness, and their insistence on humour and pleasure, take as their launch point the painting Seven Sistas Story, 2021. Here, the figure of Hasselhoff stands in for the Wati Nyiru […]

Callum Morton
‘View from a Bridge’ at Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery is Callum Morton’s first show in Sydney in eight years.
Dale Frank
Dale Frank’s work from the early 1970s to now appears to be without a beginning or an end, constantly evolving from one work to the next.
Bill Henson
