Now open: CAN Art Fair 2024 - booth A6






The third edition of Contemporary Art Now, is framed within a philosophy that drives the exploration of the boundaries of what is current and innovative. It is a space dedicated to discovering, integrating, and celebrating the freshest and most avant-garde artistic expressions, where art emerges as a force in constant reinvention.

On view: 'Echoed Vistas', a group show featuring international artists Amélie Bertrand, Deborah Brown, Dana James, Laure Mary, Thérèse Mulgrew and Martine Poppe

The exhibition runs through 21 July 2024 at 23 Foster Street, Surry Hills NSW 2010.

Capturing the spaces between the interior and the exterior, the public and the private, and the banal and the unexpected, the works intertwine narratives of strength and vulnerability, creating an interplay between tenderness and an imminent threat.

Examining our modern era of hyper-virtualisation and consumerism, questions of sustainability, access and loneliness arise through uncanny tropes, pictorial flatness, pixelation, and mark-making that references the interactions between our daily lives and the digital. Whilst each artist’s practice varies, the works in Echoed Vistas negotiates the boundaries between abstraction and representation, and the real and imagined.

PIERMARQ* is proud to announce that Craig Handley is named as a finalist in this year’s Archibald Prize with his portrait of actor Anthony LaPaglia.

The portrait of LaPaglia is both as himself and as W***y Loman from Arthur Miller’s ‘Death of a Salesman’, opening soon in Sydney.
