Michael Reid: Private Treaty Sales + News + Art Education

Private Treaty Sales + News + Art Education

Approximately twenty percent of all artworks positioned by the gallery—to art museums and private collectors—are never publicly exhibited at the gallery nor do they feature elsewhere on the website. Should you be interested in acquiring a specific painting or sculpture please contact the gallery to discuss your collecting needs.

Congratulations gallery artist John Young & furniture designer Khai Liew, our Art Month 2011 collaborative exhibition entitled Empathy has been significantly referenced by TarraWarra Museum Museum of Art - their exhibition is now titled Passages: Brian Castro, Khai Liew & John Young 25th February until 27th May 2012

“Passages is a collaborative project which presents an enticing combination of thought-provoking literature, elegant design and fine art, bringing together the writings of Brian Castro, furniture of Khai Liew, and paintings of John Young. The three artists in Passages inhabit a similar cultural space shaped by the Asian Diaspora, which emerges in varying degrees through their individual disciplines of literature, design and visual art. Their common Asian reference informs each artist’s engagement with modernism to develop an aesthetic particular to Australia. This wonderful confluence of ideas and experiences enables fresh dialogues and dynamic correspondences to emerge and be exchanged between their different art forms.”

An important catalogue-co-authored by Khai Liew, John Young and Aaron Seeto- was published in hardcopy and online to coincide with Empathy.
