The sheet is modest in size but immense in significance. Carefully inked across the page are the opening 20 bars of a fugue - not Mozart's own invention, but his transcription of a harpsichord work by George Frideric Handel, composed more than sixty years earlier. Mozart was 26 when he set to work on it in 1782-83, transforming Handel's keyboard fugue into the beginnings of a string quartet arrangement.
Does a gorilla playing the drums along to Phil Collins mean anything to you? What about surfers that turn into horses as they're riding the waves? Or a fisherman boxing with a bear over some salmon?

I have to be in New York to be in direct, personal contact with your country; my work will benefit from that shock."

John Nixon, the late Australian avant-garde artist, would sometimes save the shells from his boiled eggs and sprinkle them across blank paint, creating his own starry night. Other times he'd set himself rules, such as painting only in orange for five years. It was 1996 and he was becoming a father, so he wanted a streamlined practice plus, what other artist was associated with orange?
The term reflects her unique method of applying spray paint, bringing depth, complexity, and a painterly sensibility to her work. This exhibition presents 21 new spray paintings based on the theme "See-Through," delicately depicting moments where humor and introspection intersect through the coalescence of everyday objects and surreal scenes. The word "See-Through" harbors a mysterious meaning that serves to stimulate Stickymonger's imagination.

Under skies heavy with storm-gray clouds, the architectural ruins in Lee Madgwick's paintings seem to exist somewhere between reality and imagination. His works are not just landscapes but psychological portraits-of solitude, fragility, and the strange poetry found in decay. With a style that merges surrealism and realism in equal measure, Madgwick transforms the familiar English countryside into a dreamlike world that's quietly charged with tension.
