About the exhibitions
‘Fragments of Light’ by Jesse Dayan
‘Fragments of Light’ presents a series of paintings rooted in the everyday life of Melbourne, capturing intimate tableaux that reflect the changing seasons, nostalgia, and the connections between people and place. Influenced by the loose, expressive studies of Edward Hopper and Edouard Manet, as well as the urban scenes of Elwin Hawthorne and the distilled compositions of Félix Vallotton, Jesse Dayan’s paintings offer a contemporary take on Modernist ideals.
‘Wild at Art Showcase’ by Australian Conservation Foundation Community Boroondara
The ‘Wild at Art Showcase’ celebrates the incredible artistic talent of children from the Boroondara area while highlighting their passion for protecting Australia’s threatened species.
Presented by the Australian Conservation Foundation Community Boroondara, this exhibition features artworks created by local participants in ‘Wild at Art’, Australia’s largest wildlife art competition for kids. The ‘Wild at Art Showcase’ encourages the community to reflect on the future of Australia’s unique flora and fauna while celebrating the creativity and environmental awareness of Boroondara’s young people.
