Tamara Dean: Sydney Contemporary 2024

Leading Australian contemporary artist Tamara Dean plunges the viewer into a blustery, dreamlike world with her new work, A Sudden Gust of Wind (After Hokusai/Wall), which will make its keenly awaited debut at Sydney Contemporary 2024.

While channelling the thematic currents that have long animated her practice, which delights in magnificent entanglements of human and natural worlds, this spectacular image also represents a bold new creative flight – one connected to a centuries-old lineage of iconic, elementally charged works by Hokusai and Jeff Wall.

Dean’s showing at Sydney Contemporary will arrive soon after her Supernatural exhibition at Michael Reid Berlin – the artist’s first solo presentation in the German capital – as well as an expansive installation at the world-famous outdoor photography festival La Gacilly Photo and a survey of early works on view at Michael Reid Murrurundi.
