The Ken Done Gallery is pleased to share a number of the artist’s new works in our current exhibition. These showcase Done’s unique use of colour, investigation of form and reflect his unfailing optimism for life. This extensive exhibition is largely reflective of Done’s love of his immediate surroundings with emphasis on his coastal home. And, of course, depictions of his much loved underwater world. The Gallery is very excited to announce that The Art Gallery of NSW has recently acquired one of Ken Done’s early paintings as part of its contemporary Australian art collection. Sunday, 1982 is currently on exhibition in the AGNSW. If you fall in love with this painting, a print, in three sizes, of Sunday is available in the Ken Done Gallery store. The Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of Ken Done’s paintings at the esteemed HOTA Gallery in Surfers Paradise. The large collection of work dating back to the early 1980s to the present, represents several aspects of the artist’s oeuvre including the reef, the beach, his home studio, the influence of other artists on his practice and very interestingly Done’s many forays into the world of design and partnership. The exhibition opens on September 13 and runs for 18 weeks. HOTA has also acquired two wonderful paintings Thinking about a Sunday dive, 2024 and Between the flags II and III, 1996 both on display as part of this exhibition. The new publication Poems from Home is available for sale in the gallery shop along with limited edition prints and art related products.

Dec 19 to May 17, 2026 THE HOOLIGANS group show. Rabble-rousers, riffraff, scoundrels, and criminals. Troublemakers, wanderers, deviants, misfits. They’ve gone by many names – but to the Chinese state, they were once known simply as The Hooligans. For as long as rules have existed, people have found ways to break them. In the face of relentless restrictions, Chinese artists have learned to think beyond imposed boundaries. Refusing to cooperate, daring to defy, and stirring up trouble, the artists in this exhibition speak for those sacrificed to keep the peace.

Dec 3 to 14 40 years of AKAVA: Tracing four decades of Ebb and Flow. A group exhibition celebrating 40 years of AKAVA (Association of Korean Visual Artists in Australia). The ebbs and flows of life follow lines that are both straight and curved, combining to create a unique shape that is constantly transforming. In the same way that the lines on our art-makers’ canvases unexpectedly give life to something new, we have watched the shape of our AKAVA evolve for 40 years.

Jan 29 to March 1, 2026 Echoes of the Firecracker explores sound as memory – from explosive celebration to quiet reverberation. When familiar noises disappear through distance, silence, or restriction, their ghosts linger in the mind. Featuring artists across cultures, the exhibition examines how sound defines belonging, how its absence reshapes identity, and how new sonic forms emerge from what can no longer be heard.

Dec 5 to Feb 15, 2026 Garden Variety. Part of MAG&M’s Collective for Environmental Art & Design initiative, this exhibition presents the work of five contemporary Australian artists, along with works from the MAG&M and AGNSW Collections to create a hanging garden of art within the gallery. Through motifs associated with gardening, horticulture, and landscaping, the artists Natasha Bieniek, Lucy Culliton, Nic Fern, Michael Kempson, and Louise Zhang skilfully traverse this complex psychological landscape through a range of cultural narratives and media.

Also, Counterpoint by Jude Rae, Ruth Waller, and Toni Warburton – brings together the work of three artists whose practices resonate through material, form, and process. The interplay of their work suggests a counterpoint of ideas: materiality and illusion, perception and process, intuition and structure. Growing up within a few kilometres of each other on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, the artists also share early experiences of place. Their experiences and practices remain unique, yet in dialogue, three voices attuned to the resonances of the world around them. The exhibition is free and open to the public.

Also, The Cube: Alex Seton who’s artistic practice incorporates sculpture, photography, video, and installation to examine problematic ideas and concepts, giving them form.

And, In Profile: Liam Benson and the Mosman Embroiderers’ Guild.
