Home comforts Artists find solace in the everyday
Look MagazineJuly 2017
For this issue, Look asked three regional New South Wales artists – John Bokor, Zoe Young and Kiata Mason – to create new works inspired by Henri Matisse’s concept of an art of ‘calme’ – art which translates an atmosphere of joy and peace. We asked the artists, known for their depictions of interiors, to explore the things which bring them comfort, solace and calm during our current times of uncertainty.

Together in art
Look OnlineMay 2020
When the world retreated indoors, the art world went online, with screens suddenly transformed from museum support act to main event. While restrictions have begun to ease, digital encounters remain a valuable point of contact and engagement. This guide to some of our favourite online connections ranges from the Gallery’s own Together In Art project to a virtual writers’ festival. We’ve also asked artists how they’d like to see things change when we come out the other side. ‘My hope is that technology will continue to break down barriers between audiences and the art world,’ artist Kim Leutwyler says. We couldn’t agree more.
The former Sulman and Brett Whiteley Travelling Art Scholarship finalist brings his loony toons mashups of the sacrosanct and slapstick to Olsen Gallery, 22 July–15 August.

Re-imaginings: Nostalgia and cultural memory in the paintings of Dani McKenzie and McLean Edwards

April 28, 2020
The packed dance floor each Thursday evening at the Rainbow Hotel in the hip inner-Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy was wedged between the corner of the bar and the heavy crimson drape masking the dimly lit entrance to the beer garden, the room thick with cigarette smoke, for the most part.

Yaritji Tingila Young Is Leading The Way For The Next Generation Of Indigenous Artists
The Design FilesSally Tabart
March 4 2020
Yaritji Tingila Young’s award-winning artwork is immediately captivating. She is a leader and director of Tjala Arts, an Aboriginal owned and governed business where truly incredible work is created. Stories and culture are passed down to the next generation here, and artists are able to generate income on their own terms. It’s such an important place for the community, and Yaritji Tingila is a huge part of that.
Last year we made a mistake when referencing Yaritji Tingila in a previous article, incorrectly linking her with what we now know to be an unethical gallery. It was a careless error, but one that impacted Yaritji Tingila and her community greatly. Today, we seek to correct this, by learning more about the artist, her family, and the incredible art centre that she has helped build into a thriving community space and enterprise, on the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands in South Australia.

Louise Olsen to silence the naysayers with solo show
Sydney Morning HeraldLinda Morris
21 February, 2020
In art school, Louise Olsen kept herself in paints selling colourful t-shirts and resin jewellery at Paddington Markets, heeding the work ethic of her father, the celebrated artist, John Olsen whose creed was: "Be lovers, not others, be givers, not takers, us Olsens are workers."
