Daily 10.00 to 5.00.
The Ken Done Gallery is pleased to share a number of the artist’s new works in our current exhibition. These showcase Ken 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.
We are very excited to announce that The Art Gallery of NSW has recently acquired one of 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. We are pleased to announce an exhibition of Done’s paintings at the esteemed HOTA Gallery in Surfers Paradise. The large collection of work dating back to the early 1980’s 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 Sept 13 and runs for 18 weeks.
The new publication Poems from Home is available for sale in the gallery shop along with limited edition prints and art-related products.

To Nov 9 Tender Comrade group show.
Chinese history wasn’t always straight. While queerness may seem like a foreign import, its roots in China date back to ancient times. This was part of a broader history of same-sex relationships, non-normative sexualities, and transgender identities that have largely been forgotten. Queer pasts are actively erased so that queer futures may cease to exist. Today, despite growing constraints and “official pressure,” queer communities endure. Straight, queer, or undisclosed – together, the artists in Tender Comrade create an exhibition that breaks all the rules defining who we are and how we are perceived.

Oct 8 to 19 Ukrainian DNA is an exhibition by Maru Jarockyj that highlights the infusion of her heritage with the symbolic Ukrainian themes of linear blocks and coloured cubic assemblies.
As a practising architect, Jarockyj’s fascination with abstraction, geometry and fragmented forms has been an enduring constant of her work which spills onto the canvas in a symphony of eclectic lines. These lines, reflecting strands of strong Ukrainian DNA, represent the cultural links tied to a deeper sense of self: a mystic multicultural identity that Australian Ukrainians draw upon while living in the diaspora.
Oct 22 to Nov 2 CASA / HOUSE: Interior of Abstract Memories is an immersive body of abstract work that invites the viewer into a space of memory, emotion, and interiority. Rooted in the idea of home as both a physical and psychological sanctuary, the exhibition unfolds like a domestic dream – soft, unstable, and deeply personal. Each piece reflects not an object or a scene, but a felt experience – a gesture toward a moment, a colour that lingers like a memory.

To Nov 30 Maestri: influences from Italy to Australia.
This exhibition draws on MAG&M’s rich collection, along with loaned works from National Art School and private collections, to explore Antonio Dattilo-Rubbo’s (1870–1955) early influences, legacy as a teacher, and impact on 20th century Australian modernism. Presented in collaboration with the Consulate General of Italy in Sydney, and the Italian Cultural Institute, Sydney, with support from the Anita & Luca Belgiorno-Nettis Foundation, Avion International, MAG&M Society, and the Rubbo family.

Sept 19 to Nov 30 Beyond the Box. What happens when the cardboard box becomes a vessel for ideas or concepts? In this exhibition we explore ways in which Australian artists in the 21st century leverage the materiality of such a modest item and incorporate it into their artworks as a way of engaging in the concepts which concern them. The participating artists are Gabrielle Bates, Patrizia Biondi, Tracey Clement, Scott Duncan, David Manley, and Sean Rafferty.

To Nov 2 Remy Faint: Delineation of a Trace. This exhibition discovers the relationship between silhouettes and translucency, where memory, materiality, and abstraction intersect. The work forms a fragmented dialogue between past and present, inviting viewers to contemplate on how the past is reinterpreted and reimagined.
