July 4 to Oct 11 Man on Fire: Visions of Nebuchadnezzar – a timely presentation of Arthur Boyd’s renowned ‘Nebuchadnezzar’ series. Produced largely in the United Kingdom during the 1960s, these powerful images depict the Bible story of King Nebuchadnezzar who, exiled by God for the pride of sin, was condemned to live as an animal in the wilderness for seven years. Boyd’s treatment of the myth is deeply personal, driven by his pacifism and informed by the turbulence of the Vietnam War. A meditation on pride and the fragility of the human condition, these paintings and works on paper are drawn from the Bundanon Collection, the National Gallery of Australia, and private lenders. In direct response to Boyd’s works, Shaun Gladwell’s new commissions have been created in residency at Bundanon. With a longstanding interest in Boyd’s work and familial roots in the Shoalhaven, Gladwell brings a deep affinity for Boyd’s concerns, particularly around how masculinity can be performed, tested, and transformed. Bringing together two leading Australian artists across generations, Man on Fire explores a story of hubris and undoing. Illuminating the enduring questions of power, exile, and human frailty, Boyd and Gladwell wrestle with ideas of masculinity, reckoning, and renewal. Opening weekend July 4 and 5. Includes free entry to the Art Museum, artist talks, and new live performances by artists Shaun Gladwell and Roslyn Orlando.

To Aug 9 Ballad of the Burbs – Nicci Bedson paints the homes and houses that define the region’s suburban landscape. Her acrylic works capture familiar facades, softened by nostalgic detail and shifting light, inviting us to see the quiet poetry in the places we live.

To July 26 Luminous Revolution is an exhibition that explores the power and nuance of colour within artistic practice. Colouration can impact or represent our emotions, direct our aesthetic tastes, and influence our sense of well-being. Delving behind the art objects of seven Central West artists to understand their chromatic-choice inclinations, the exhibition offers an opportunity to unpack the idiosyncrasies and inner dialogues of creative practice. Artists: Linda Chant, Brenda Stace Chat, Inel Date, Rebecca Dowling, David Henley, Shani Nottingham, and Mary-Ann Wright.

Also, Rewritten Ground examines the complex relationship between human urbanisation and our landscapes. The exhibition reflects on what we take from the environment and what we impose upon it – how objects, materials, and interventions disrupt and become imprints of our presence across natural terrains. Rewritten Ground showcases the work of Central West artists under 40 years of age. Artists: Gus Armstrong, Laura Baker, John Daly, Rachel Pinel, Sarah Randall, Joel Tonks and Kendelle Watts.
