Opening today, Saturday 30th of May from 4-6pm is Grace Wood’s solo exhibition, Petal as Pixel.

The exhibition draws on Wood’s enduring fascination with Lawrence Alma-Tadema’s, The Roses of Heliogabalus (1888), employing it as a metaphor to reimagine seduction, excess, and the proliferation of images through a contemporary lens.

As Nikita Holcombe writes in the accompanying essay:

“For Petal as Pixel, Wood has spliced and collaged the images digitally, originally sourced from internet searches of the term ‘rose’. Typically associated with love, prestige, and purity, Wood is indiscriminate in her selection. Not all the source images or collages are standardly beautiful, many allude to the absurd. Visual flickers of rosacea and beauty products are embroiled with rose coloured objects, decorations and high fashion, all steeped in sickly sweet composites of pink.”

Simon Zoric is included in the exhibition, 'Popular Versus Culture', a solo exhibition by Georgia Banks with selected works by invited guests at Wollongong Art Gallery.

Framed as a solo exhibition but expanded through collection works and invited artists, the exhibition explores what Banks describes as “legacy leeching”—the entanglement of practices across popular and high culture to test what endures, circulates and disappears.

Artists: Georgia Banks with Tony Coleing, Sarah Contos, Karla Dickens, Geoffrey Harvey, Richard Larter, David McDiarmid, Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran, Denese Oates, Kiron Robinson, Paul Saint, Martin Sharp, Vicki Varvaressos, Ruth Waller, Simon Zoric

Curated by Daniel Mudie Cunningham

The exhibition is on view 5 June – 6 September.

We are thrilled to announce that Keemon Williams’ works 'ACCLIMATION' and 'RECOVERY' have been acquired by Manningham Art Gallery and feature in their current exhibition, ‘What We Share’ on view 20 May – 29 August.

The exhibition brings together leading creative practitioners working in contemporary photographic portraiture and moving image across Australia. Positioning themselves within the frame, these artists craft memories, and autobiographical narratives to explore truth, identity, culture, ancestry, and politics. Through deeply personal cultural and familial histories, the works reflect on lived experience while highlighting the ongoing impacts of Australia’s colonial past on First Nations peoples.

LON Gallery is thrilled to present Grace Wood’s fifth solo exhibition with the gallery, Petal as Pixel.

Please join us for the opening celebration on Saturday 30th of May from 4-6pm.

Petal as Pixel draws on Wood’s enduring fascination with Lawrence Alma-Tadema’s, The Roses of Heliogabalus (1888), employing it as a metaphor to reimagine seduction, excess, and the proliferation of images through a contemporary lens.

Comprising 80 works, Petal as Pixel centres on an expansive suspended assemblage of petal-shaped mirrors, tiered by connective chain, and embellished with abstracted and layered images - all symmetrically balanced. As the viewer moves throughout the gallery, the work evolves, reflections fragment and multiply, enveloping the space with an echo of itself.

Through Petal as Pixel, Wood reflects on the construction, circulation, and truth of images; demonstrating that replication is both seductive and dangerous, and the boundary between reality and fabrication remains suspended in flux.

Continuing this week is Kate Wallace’s exhibition, ‘Between Trees’, which comprises a suite of 17 intimately scaled oil paintings on copper and linen, that attend to the subtle rhythms of daily life, moving between moments of stillness and quiet tension. Emerging from close observation, these works draw attention to the intervals that punctuate movement; the overlooked moments of transit, waiting and contemplation that often pass unnoticed.

The exhibition’s title, 'Between Trees', gestures toward a condition of suspension: a pause between places, between moments, between states of being. Situated within this threshold, the exhibition considers what is seen and felt when one is alone, and the ways in which attention might settle amidst the rhythms of contemporary life.
