Six leading contemporary painters have now joined forces at Michael Reid Sydney to present their spectacular new work in the fourth edition of Painting Now.
Our annual group show spotlights an exciting school of established artists whose practice expands the creative possibilities of art’s most storied medium and pushes it into optically charged, technically dazzling and conceptually daring terrain. Invited to exhibit in Painting Now by curator and Michael Reid Beyond program manager Dean Phillips-Andersen, our incredible class of 2024 features Darren Wardle, Caroline Walls, Kathy Liu, Ben Mazey, Maggie Brink and Andrew Sullivan.
The success of so many Painting Now alumni reflects the program’s aim to identify established talents at a moment of creative breakthrough and present their work just as it ascends to a new level of collectability and acclaim. All paintings from this year’s show have arrived at the gallery and can be previewed and acquired by request.
