Retrospective
Main Galley
A retrospective exhibition of artist Sue Micheal, this exhibition follows her creative journey, showcasing key works and highlighting the evolution of her style and themes throughout her considerable career. An opportunity to appreciate the depth and breadth of Sue’s immeasurable creative contribution to the arts.
Sue Michael is an Adelaide based artist who has spent many years documenting everyday life. She has studied painting, art photography, as well as printmaking. She has completed a Visual Art PhD by Major Studio Project in 2018 at the University of South Australia with a thesis entitled: Expanded understandings of place making through genre painting: a heuristic study in the Mid North of South Australia. Previous years spent nursing and as a volunteer in the Royal Adelaide Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit have shaped and grounded her holistic approach to visual art.
Perceive
Eliana Della Flora and Katherine Shierlaw
Main Gallery and Foyer
A showcase of sculptural works in glass by emerging artists Eliana Della Flora and Katherine Shierlaw, this exhibition demonstrates the dynamic interplay of the contrasts and dualities of glass and explores the ways in which they see and perceive and invites reflection on how we perceive our environment and ourselves.
Conversation: Muse and Dream
Alice Hu
Gallery 2
Conversation: Muse and Dream explores the fusion of classical Western aesthetics with contemporary subcultures through a Chinese-Australian lens. Centred on the Chinese concept of 留白 (Liúbái)—negative space—the exhibition uses this visual silence to reflect hybrid identity. The exhibition invites reflection on cultural intersections and find belonging in the space between heritage and modernity, East and West, past and future.
In Motion
Sara Boni
EHA Gallery
In Motion is an exhibition that invites the viewer to pause, reflect, and reconnect—with their body, with nature, and with the quiet power of fleeting moments. Themes of freedom, healing, self-awareness, and our symbiotic relationship with nature run throughout the exhibition. These paintings are not just portraits but reflections of the relationship—between artist and model, human and landscape, body and mind. This work is also a gentle call to leave the screen behind and step outside. Just a short time in natural light and movement can reset our nervous systems, lower stress levels, and bring us back to ourselves.
Rendered in bright, fresh colours using acrylic and oil, the paintings blend smooth lines with influences from Surrealism, Futurism, and illustration.
