Discover resonant works chosen for lasting connection
In art, as in love, the most rewarding connections are built to last. Director’s Choice: 2026 celebrates Australian art through works selected for their integrity, emotional depth, and enduring appeal. This exhibition brings together paintings, prints and works on paper to engage, inspire, and reward sustained attention over time.
Peter Booth ‘Man in a Red Coat’
From the haunting presence of Peter Booth’s 'Man in a Red Coat' to the lyrical movement in Brett Whiteley’s 'Waves', each work demonstrates a confident hand and a keen artistic vision.
Brett Whiteley ‘Waves’Sidney Nolan’s 1942 'Landscape', an abstracted shoreline framed by deep blue water, warps perspective and sense of place, prefiguring the landscape from which his iconic Ned Kelly series would emerge. In contrast, Reg Mombassa’s 'Advance Mambo' injects irreverent joy and vibrant energy, showcasing playful, contemporary approaches to figurative and abstract art.
The exhibition also features the assured compositions of Mark Schaller, the postmodern and experimental creativity of Philippe Le Miere, and the intimate, symbolic works of George Baldessin. Together, these selections highlight the breadth and depth of Australian creativity, offering works that remain compelling, grow in resonance, and hold enduring significance in the country’s visual culture.
