SUMMARY:Wonders of HINTON
DESCRIPTION:Experience one of the greatest collections of art in regional Australia with the new semi-permanent display\, Wonders of Hinton. \nThe Howard Hinton Collection is the result of one of the greatest acts of artistic philanthropy and benefaction in Australian history. Between 1929 and 1948 a collection of over 1000 artworks were donated to the newly constructed Armidale Teachers’ College by the retired shipping agent\, Howard Hinton OBE (1866-1948). The collection provides a snapshot into Australian artistic practice in the early twentieth century as well as some insights into this ‘modest and self-effacing’ gentleman who lived in a boarding house in the north shore suburb of Cremorne and is one of the most significant collections of Australian art in regional New South Wales. \nOpening Night Event: Friday 3 February\, 6pm

SUMMARY:Stages: Michael Simms
DESCRIPTION:With a background in classical piano and psychology\, Sydney based artist Michael Simms is intrigued by the interconnection of the senses – how rhythm can become gesture\, or sound can take shape as colour and form – allowing the visual and sonic to inform one another. Stages is an ongoing series of portraits by Simms\, honouring performers whose work spans music\, theatre\, dance and performance art. The series explores how presence is expressed — both onstage and off. \n  \n  \nCredit: Michael Simms\, Paul Capsis\, 2017\, oil on board.

SUMMARY:NYMPHAEA NYMPHAEA : Anna Johnson
DESCRIPTION:Anna Johnson is a writer of forty years experience that came late to painting. Her art writing has been featured in Vogue\, Vanity Fair\, The Sydney Morning Herald and as a senior writer for Artist Profile. The third generation daughter of a large family of artists began her earliest work with watercolours\, expanding to increasingly large scale paintings from 2018 to the present. Johnson has held three Sydney solo shows and presents her first New York exhibition with Kutlesa Gallery\, Chelsea in March 2026. A finalist in this year’s Paddington Art prize\, Johnson describes the many Australian artists she had written about as : “My collective art school.” All works presented in “Nymphaea Nymphaea” were made exclusively for NERAM as a site specific creative project\n\n\n\nNYMPHAEA NYMPHAEA\n\nFew associate the master of Post Impressionism with minimal abstraction. In history\, Claude Monet in particular is lodged inside the most lyrical branch of landscape. His vast studies of trees\, clouds and waterlilies reflected in fathomless bodies of water present a romantic\, hyper-decorative idyll far removed from the industrial world beyond his garden walls in Giverny.\n\nYet a key fact\, perhaps forgotten\, is that Monet’s large scale Nymphaea murals were donated to France as a symbol of peace\, celebrating the Armistice after world war one. In them\, the regenerative power of ecology pushes up and out of dark pools and shadows. Gestural and abstracted\, these were not sentimental works that grieved the 19th century. I think instead that they subtly (and boldly) faced their time. The ambiguity of surface ornament and pockets of darkness in his late works serve as both evocative and ambiguous.  A century after the final Nymphaea was painted\, I feel the dynamic contradiction embedded in Monet’s turbulent and explorative beauty remains vital.  If these works were simply relaxing and re-assuring they would not be quite so magnetic. Violet\, after all\, is the fusion of red and blue\, flame and sky.\n\nMany feel that abstract painting is a genre without a subject. But when I work I do not press mute. Recently and globally\, wide spread censorship has forced many artists to resort to euphemisms. My paintings are openly about war and peace\, vulnerability and sanctuary. When I painted “Blood Cloud” there was nothing metaphoric about my palette. This work is about blood. The blue “Mythology & Muse”3 series is a quartet with an aqueous nocturnal palette. It is my homage to the water lilies\, but perhaps also a subliminal response the nebulous atmosphere of fear that permeates the news cycle like a pending cloud. In the process of completing this show for NERAM\, I found both release and respite. Compositionally many of my paintings are hollowed out like caves. In the depths of my raw linen voids\,  I seek hiding places\, coves and shelter. The project of “Nymphaea Nymphaea” is ongoing. Bridging the meeting point between Post Impressionism and Colour Field painting I found an unbroken thread: the power of colour to heal.\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nImage credit: Anna Johnson\, Persephone (detail)\, 2025\, Acrylic on linen.
