Nikulinsky Naturally
25 May — 17 August 2019
Philippa Nikulinsky AM is a Perth-based, internationally recognised botanical and wildlife artist. Nikulinsky Naturally is a survey of her work from the 1970s to the present and will provide a perspective on the unique qualities of practice - focusing on the evolution of her working methodology and exploring the ways in which she continues to interrogate the botanical riches of the Western Australian landscape.
The Artist and Her Work
25 May — 7 December 2019
An exhibition drawn from the Cruthers Collection of Women’s Art exploring Lady Sheila Cruthers’ collection strategy she referred to as ‘the artist and her work’, of acquiring an artist’s work in addition to a self-portrait, with the two works often hung side by side. The Artist and Her Work utilises this unusual juxtaposition to showcase the breadth and depth of women’s art practice, replicating the dense and vibrant hanging style of the collection’s original domestic context.
