SCAF

Hugo Michell Gallery brings four distinct Australian voices together at Sydney Contemporary, with new works by Richard Lewer, William Mackinnon, Georgia Spain, and Garawan Wanambi. Their practice spans memory, identity, and landscape, each offering a unique lens on the world.

Lewer’s series on Jesus’ miracles explores faith through layered acrylics. Mackinnon presents large, psychological landscapes that blend memory and symbolism. Spain debuts emotive abstract paintings inspired by ritual and spectacle, while Wanambi showcases ancestral larrakitj poles and bark paintings that honour sea Country.

The works are personal, political, and spiritual, forming a compelling and layered presentation.
