Sydney Contemporary 2023: Andrea Huelin

Earlier this year, Andrea Huelin made national news when her delightful portrait of Cal Wilson was awarded the 2023 Archibald Packing Room Prize. This career-defining moment thrust Huelin’s work into mainstream collecting conversations and has since seen the Cairns-based painter amass significant patronage.

At Sydney Contemporary 2023, Andrea Huelin will present a small selection of paintings from her upcoming Michael Reid Sydney exhibition, Forage, which the artist describes as a love letter to her home of 28 years. This exciting preview will see more than 35,000 visitors obtain a small glimpse into our mid-September solo exhibition.

Huelin’s bright, graphic and lovely painterly techniques beautifully capture the character of her tropical North Queensland garden, set against vintage wallpaper designs that were prominent throughout her childhood.

Those wishing to see an exclusive preview of Andrea Huelin’s new paintings are invited to be in touch by emailing danielsoma@michaelreid.com.au
