Praxis Artspace is at Sydney Contemporary !

 

Praxis Artspace invites you to an unmissable experience at Sydney Contemporary, where the most compelling voices in contemporary painting converge at Booth J02. Be captivated by the works of Anna Mould, Pierre Mukeba, George Raftopoulos, and Damien Shen—four artists whose mastery of figurative and abstract art will leave a lasting impression.

 

Anna Mould, a rising star and 2024 Archibald Prize finalist, uses her multidisciplinary talents to challenge and provoke with her explorations of social and political themes. Her work is a profound reflection of life on Gadigal, Wangal, and Dharug land, infused with both subtlety and power.

George Raftopoulos, a modern myth-maker, weaves together his Greek heritage and his Australian upbringing into vibrant, intuitive paintings that offer both fable and sharp social commentary. His art, rich with narrative and emotion, speaks to the human condition in ways that are both deeply personal and universally resonant.

Pierre Mukeba brings raw intensity to the booth, his art stirring deep emotions as he tells stories of the African diaspora, culture, and faith. Pierre’s work is a force of nature. Using historical references, he addresses the most pressing issues of our time with unflinching honesty, where ultimately, he cements himself in cultural and art history.

Damien Shen, an artist of Chinese and Ngarrindjeri heritage, places his viewers in a position of neccesary cultural reflection. Through his evocative portraits, Shen explores identity, ancestry, and the complexities of belonging, using a wide range of media to create works that are as beautiful as they are thought-provoking.
