Sculpt with Fabric with Mitchell Davis
Get into the studio with New South Vol. 2: Recent Sculpture & Installation Art
artist Mitchell Davis.
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll explore Davis’s unique practice, combining industrial textiles, pattern-making, painting and sculpture into intimate patchwork pieces you can hold in your hands.
Mitchell Davis (b. 1995 in Sydney, Australia) is an emerging Australian artist living and working between Sydney and Gundungurra land in the Southern Highlands. Central to his practice are reparative acts of making and sculpting with found and industrial textiles, often to create covering or protective structures as well as wall-based paintings.
📆 Sunday 21 June, 11am to 3pm
🎨 For ages 16+
🎫 $150, booking essential

Susana Depetris: Between Light and Shadow
Until 16 June 2026
Susana Depetris’ second solo exhibition at the Broadhurst Gallery brings together recent paintings that examine how light and shadow interact through colour fields, hard edges, and geometric forms. Across canvas, plywood, and paper, she traces the subtle movement of luminosity to produce quietly meditative works.

Martin John Oldfield: Revel-Making
Until Tuesday 5 May
To revel is to enjoy oneself in a lively, noisy way—to celebrate with abandon.
Martin John Oldfield is an artist drawn to assembling things, finding potential in everyday and found materials and coaxing them into something new. Each piece begins with a simple object and becomes something unexpected: a small, carefully considered world of its own.
Revel–Making brings together work from the past year, shaped by a rigorous and unruly process of artistic growth. Every act of making feels like a quiet tip of the hat to the universe, an acknowledgement of the gift of being able to create as a vocation.

"ARTEXPRESS 2026 artist Olivier Bridger from Edmund Rice College examines passing time through their photomedia work ‘Vanitas (An Ode to Gerhard Richter)’.
“Vanitas (An Ode to Gerhard Richter) investigates Renaissance concepts of memento mori. Renaissance still-life artists communicated both beauty and impermanence but even today, when images and data may appear eternal, human life remains finite. My body of work juxtaposes past and present, conveying how mortality continues to shape the human experience. I used a slight blurriness to represent mortality and decay while also referencing the imperfect textures and elements of Renaissance painting. Life is transient and death inevitable: my intention in my work was to encourage the audience to reflect on this inescapable truth.”
ARTEXPRESS 2026 continues until Sunday 12 April. Free entry, open 10.00am to 4.00pm daily.
ARTEXPRESS is a joint initiative between the NSW Department of Education and the NSW Education Standards Authority.
