Summer Salon marks a seasonal shift in the gallery, artworks moving out from the intimacy and density of the gallery’s stockroom into a more expansive, light-filled way of looking.
In step with summer on the Mornington Peninsula, the exhibition embraces space, air, and slower attention, allowing works to unfold at their own pace and scale.
Sightlines lengthen.
Surfaces breathe.
The act of looking feels more open, less compressed.
Materiality remains central.
Reclaimed elements, luminous paint, industrial finishes, stone, steel, and light-based works each hold their ground, responding to the openness of the hang.
The exhibition settles into clarity and pause, where shifts in light, scale, and material can be registered without urgency, and each work holds its own presence within a broader seasonal atmosphere.
