ANNANDALE GALLERIES
"FLOW STATES -Barks, Larrakitj & Sculpture: SHOWING 31 JULY - 30 AUGUST 2025 Join us for an opening reception, 9 August 1-3pm
Flow States brings together a selection of recent and private-collection works from leading Yolŋu artists of north-east Arnhem Land, having passed through the Buku-Larrŋgay Mulka Centre (Yirrkala, NT) with whom Annandale has collaborated for three decades. While the works on display represent only a fraction shown at Annandale Galleries over the years, they nonetheless point to pivotal moments where Yolŋu art was shaped by community members, and shared in innovative ways.
It has been a privilege to witness such work enthusiastically embraced, revered and collected, both locally and internationally. More than aesthetical and formal revelations, Yolŋu people have proven that the rhythm of art is one of deep, passionate commitment to our homes and the ones with which we share it.
Exhibited artists: Gunybi Ganambarr • Ŋoŋu Ganambarr • Malauba Gumana • Waturr Gumana • Gawirrin Gumana • Djambawa Marawili • Galuma Maymuru • Buwathay Munyarryun • Yanggariny Wunuŋgmurra • Nawurapu Wunuŋgmurra • W. Wanambi • Deturru Yunupiŋu"..www.annandalegalleries.com.au

Etchings, linocuts, aquatints, lithographs and collage on show 7 May – 28 June 2025
Opening 7th May 6:30pm - 8:30pm
Preview from 26 April
Annandale Galleries is excited to announce that two of the most influential names in modern art will return to the gallery for the first time in over a decade. Featuring etchings, linocuts, aquatints, lithographs and collage, the exhibition traces their stylistic experimentations as well as innovations within printmaking and colour theory.
We see the lasting relevance of Henri Matisse and Robert Motherwell in the way they confronted the unknown and ephemeral qualities that defined their own times. This is evident through their shared love for the poet Mallarmé and his dictum "describe not the object itself but the effect it produces". Not only would they become key figures of their own movements, they created seismic shifts which reverberate to this day.
PROUDLY PRESENTS NEWCOMERS 25
FARNAZ DADFAR • EMILY ISABEL TAYLOR • SASKIA VANDER
Opening Wednesday 12 March 6:30-8:00 pm
Exhibition dates: 12 March – 12 April 2025
Marking the second annual Newcomers series, recent art-school graduates have been invited to usher in the new year of exciting exhibitions and events.
Each artist embraces a sense of fragmentation, where the act of repairing broken matter, reshaping images and reframing personal narratives translates to an act of resilience and regeneration. Whether through painting, bronze, glass or recycled plastic, each carries the memory of lived experience and produces something stronger and more adaptable than before.
For all inquiries, including early access to our Newcomers25 catalogue and pricelist, please contact info@annandalegalleries.com.au
