To Feb 9 Magritte – an in-depth retrospective featuring more than 100 works, most of which have never before been seen in Australia. It journeys from the artist’s first avant-garde explorations and commercial works in the 1920s, to his groundbreaking contributions to surrealism, his surprising provocations of the 1940s, and the renowned paintings of his final years, before his death in 1967. Ticketed.

To June 15 Nusra Latif Qureshi: Birds in Far Pavilions. This exhibition traces Nusra Latif Qureshi’s 30-year career from her early paintings in Lahore, in which she began to reimagine traditional forms, to their zenith beyond the page and into 3D sculpture with a new commissioned installation.
To Sept Lee Ufan: Quiet Resonance. Within spaces designed by the artist, this exhibition by Lee Ufan distils over six decades of considered experimentation into a series of recent paintings and sculptures created especially for the Art Gallery of New South Wales. Ufan’s sparing use of simple materials, including stone, steel and canvas, has a quiet force that encourages contemplation and consideration of the physical and intellectual self in relation to the work.

To March 3 Peter Godwin: Space, Light and Time.
This survey exhibition focuses on Godwin’s prints and paintings from 2000–2025, in which he has honed a distinctive, painterly language that immerses us in new worlds. The worlds of Peter Godwin are ever-changing and allusive. Godwin recalls places, images and objects into his evocative compositions. Over the last 25 years he has distilled and refined his use of light, space and time to create atmospheric paintings and prints that push the potential of an image. Presented in association with Orange Regional Gallery. Exhibition publication supported by the Gordon Darling Foundation.

Feb 20 to April 4 INDIVISIBLE by Denis Beaubois.
Indivisible is a body of works that critique the idea of the Nation. The works play with selective history, mythology and how assumptions of national character have changed over time. Central to the exhibition is an exploration of Parliamentary language and rhetoric since Federation and how it was used to describe (or prescribe) the qualities of the Australian people. Indivisible reviews this language by replaying it through various materials and people in an attempt to find relevance in contemporary Australia.

This exhibition invites us to honour the deep connections that shape us – those who guide, support, and inspire us. It celebrates the strength and beauty in chosen family, where love, resilience, and belonging are found. In particular, it lifts up the Aboriginal Queer community, whose bonds are formed through shared experiences and a commitment to one another’s well-being. Whether through friends, mentors, or partners, these connections are our greatest sources of strength. Let’s take a moment to be grateful for the people who make us feel seen, heard, and valued. Curated by Nioka Lowe-Brennan.

To Feb 22 Carving Perspectives. Artist Fan Dongwang merges traditional Chinese carving techniques with contemporary painting. Using brushes to “sculpt” the canvas surface, he creates intricate lines and shadows, evoking a three-dimensional illusion. This fusion of Chinese decorative art, Western perspective, and pop art creates a spatial depth that transcends the canvas. Fan Dongwang is represented by Art Atrium, Sydney.
