Upcoming ‘Storytellers’ Exhibition at Flinders Lane Gallery
Exhibition dates: 31st March – 24th April 2020
Story Tellers is an exhibition that celebrates artworks with narrative, that allow for a dialogue between artist and viewer, highlighting the seen and unseen. These artworks include subtle or overt references to artist’s personal lives, culture, current political or social issues. Curated based on technical skill, conceptual strength and executed with realist precision, this exhibition brings together artists from around the globe including from the USA, India, Ireland and Australia.
Co-curated by Dr Elaine Schmidt (USA) of the Bennett Collection of Women Figurative Realists, independent curator Didi Menendez (USA) and FLG Director Claire Harris, Story Tellers tells the story of us, in all our diversity.
