Figurations

The first solo exhibition from Troy Emery since joining our stable of represented artists, Figurations transforms our upstairs exhibition space with a cast of wild and magnificent creatures dazzlingly sculpted with a couturier’s precision and imaginative flourish.

Fringed and fabulous in languorous repose, Emery’s impossible fauna reflects an enduring fascination with nature. Drawing on art history, science, decorative crafts and camp sensibilities, the artist explores complex entanglements of human and non-human worlds.

Figurations follows the recent announcement of Emery’s major commission, Guardian Lion, which will see him produce a spectacular, kaleidoscopic, illuminated sculptural landmark soaring high above Melbourne’s Southbank and serving as a bold visual gateway to the city.
