WENDY STAVRIANOS EXHIBITED IN ‘SUPER NATURE’ AT THE ART GALLERY OF NEW SOUTH WALES
Wendy Stavrianos’ ‘Celebration of the Palms, Darwin’ 1976-78 is exhibited in ‘Super Nature’ at the Art Gallery of New South Wales until February 2027. The painting was acquired through Nicholas Thompson Gallery in 2022.
The exhibition from the Art Gallery’s collection charts the adventure of human immersion in nature. Across four spaces, it explores places where humans and nature interact and intertwine, the role of gardens as memorials, the wild nature that lives alongside (and sometimes within) us, and the cultivation of nature for survival and sustenance. Several new acquisitions will also be shown for the first time, including Wendy Stavrianos’s ‘Celebration of the palms, Darwin’ 1976–78, a major drawing made in response to the intense natural forces unleashed by Cyclone Tracy.
Wendy Stavrianos will hold her fifth exhibition with Nicholas Thompson Gallery in March.
