Every Picture Tells a Story, King Street Gallery on William 18 November – 13 December

Adriane Strampp, Sketchbook from Morocco Sep/Oct 2025

Playing with the idea that ‘every picture tells a story,’ King Street Gallery on William’s forthcoming summer exhibition will explore the idiosyncratic nature of an artist’s approach to the creation of an artwork, from initial conception to contemplation and completion.

Every Picture Tells a Story brings together artists’ creative endeavours in the form of concertina books, sketchbooks, and handmade books.  As completed works within their own right, these books will accompany an artwork (painting, sculpture or another medium), inviting reflection on the artists’ individual approaches.

The Architecture of Light, King Street Gallery On William 21 October – 15 November, 2025

Silent World 2025 oil on linen 162 x 205cm

“The delicately evocative paintings featured in Adriane Strampp’s The Architecture of Light (2025) exhibition are largely autobiographical. Not only in the sense of their subject matter – set in or against the backdrop of her industrial, inner-city home and her parent’s country garden – but also through the incorporation of several genres of painting in the Western art tradition that she has explored at different times in her oeuvre: landscape, still life and the domestic interior. Over time, Strampp has orchestrated the painting of these subjects as a basis from which to build her own visual language and style, which is now on display at King Street Gallery on William.”
– Excerpt from Kirtsen Rann’s catalogue essay, 2025.

Homage to Turner: West End Art Space 28 June – 12 July 2025

On a Clear Day (You Can See to Assisi) 2021 oil on linen 120x120cm

Homage to Turner, a group show at West End Art Space.

    This group exhibition brings together contemporary painters whose works reflect, reinterpret, or are in dialogue with the legacy of J.M.W. Turner. Known for his bold treatment of light, atmosphere, and emotion, Turner’s influence continues to resonate across generations of artists.

   Through a range of painterly approaches — from expressive abstraction to observational landscapes — Homage to Turner considers how contemporary painters engage with the qualities that defined Turner’s practice. Some works respond directly to his subjects or techniques, while others adopt a looser affinity, drawing on mood, movement, or materiality.

   Together, these works offer a quiet nod to Turner’s lasting presence in the language of painting.

Opening: Saturday, 5th July, 2- 4 pm

Wednesday – Saturday 11am – 4pm

DRAWING ECOLOGIES / The Kedumba Collection 9 January – 2 February 2025

Hare 2010 graphite on paper 76 x 56 cm 2010

DRAW Space are delighted to collaborate with The Kedumba Drawing Collection to present DRAWING ECOLOGIES – an exhibition that explores drawing as a method of interpreting and relating to the natural world, traced through The Kedumba Collection’s archive of Australian contemporary drawing.

Curated by Eva Nolan

Established in 1990 by Jeffrey Plummer, with the support of the Blue Mountains Grammar School, The Kedumba Drawing Award continues as one of the longest-running, most prestigious acquisitive drawing prizes in Australia. The collection chronicles 35 years of Australian drawing history, featuring the work of some of Australia’s most celebrated contemporary artists.

A thematic thread woven throughout the collection’s extensive lineage is the representation of nature. From expressive landscapes to detailed animal studies, these images resonate with one another to create an ecology of drawings, collectively navigating the storied relationship between humanity and the natural world. Curating a selection of work from The Kedumba Collection, DRAWING ECOLOGIES explores the role of drawing in humankind’s perpetual contemplation of – and connection with – the natural world.

DRAWING ECOLOGIES features the work of: Chris Casali, Maryanne Coutts, Lucy Culliton, Anna Glynn, Anne Judell, Leith Maguire, Matin Rek, Mike Riley, Luke Scibberas, Adriane Strampp, Claire Tozer and Wendy Tsai.
