On Scale, an exhibition co-curated by Bruce Reynolds and Ruth Waller, asks 12 artists to explore scale: from the miniature to the monumental. The exhibition, which spans painting, drawing, textiles, sculpture and installation, addresses varied considerations particular to each artist’s practice. It also explores the relationship of these works to each other and the gallery space.
The show highlights the characteristics of weight and lightness, density and tension and the contemplation of scale as it shifts from the physical to the metaphysical and beyond. The responses range from engagement with the organic and ecological such as in the case of Dan Power’s intricate drawings and David Helmers’ sculpture, to systems of geometry in Emma Beer’s and Katrina Barter’s abstract paintings, and even cosmic scale, in Lisa Sammut’s collaboration with David Greenhalgh.

About Face mirrors the alluring world of contemporary portrait painting
About Face is a smart piece of marketing. The new book on portrait painting from Australia and New Zealand has a mission to change buyers’ minds about the field. But as Jane O’Sullivan discovers, any sales pitch wears thin if it’s repeated often enough, and the close attention to how portrait painting is received by the market means that other important conversations fade to the background.
