This exhibition draws upon three stories, Eve, Pandora and Bluebeard’s Wife. In each of these myths, the female protagonist defies instructions or expectations with consequences that have traditionally been used by patriarchal society as a warning to women to stay in their lane and behave. Here, Kent reflects on feminine power and re-frames these women as heroines and seekers of knowledge. The potent imagery in religion and myth speaks to our subconscious through familiarity and tradition. Kent has created a lush garden of flowers and serpents, celebrating femininity and abundance, punctuated by reminders of mortality.

Narelle never ceases to amaze us with these slices of heaven. So much care and love in every brushstroke. 🐞🌷 🐝

Narelle Zeller returns to Grainger Gallery with a mini-solo show, Through My Eyes. These works continue to explore ideas around embellishing the figure to ignite the creative journey for each piece.

Having already started 2025 winning the Fine Art Connoisseur Award at the 17th International ARC Salon held at Sothebys, New York, as well as an Honorable Mention in the Figurative category for last year’s work, “Good Intentions,” Narelle’s latest works are a continuation of that work’s investigation of adornment. The works “touch upon the rich tapestry of human expression through ornamentation but also delve into adornment as the catalyst itself, enabling me to evoke moods, stir emotions, and suggest narratives that let the mind wander.”

Narelle Zeller is a Canberra-based, Australian representational artist, best known for her detailed and sensitive depictions of figures and still-life subjects. With her practice dedicated to realism, Narelle works exclusively with oil paint and focuses on portraiture, the human form, and the beauty of the natural world.

Narelle has achieved recognition nationally and internationally as an award-winning artist and a finalist in numerous prestigious national and international competitions, such as the International Arc Salon, Figurativas, ModPortrait, Darling Portrait Prize, Titian Portrait Competition, International Biennial Portrait Competition, Lester Prize for Portraiture, Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize, and Shirley Hannan National Portrait Award. Her art resides in prominent collections and has been showcased in exhibitions spanning both national and international arenas.

‘Lead me’, 2024, 30x40”. I do love a greyhound, or whippet, or any creature built for speed. Just like horses, the musculature is so much fun to paint, all that shadow and line. Also, he’s a good boy. Available from @graingergallery

Last days to be with this work, amongst the perfect company of @judith_nangala @mahala_m_hill and @whatisadaniel at @graingergallery. Closes Sunday 9th March.

‘...In my casting I take this beauty and translate it to human. I just want people to feel that all-consuming awe and wonderment, but it’s amiss. Polished metals harden what was once fluid, shaping it into something to be worn, displayed, possessed. We are reflected back. These forms exist between awe and heartache, complexity and destruction, where being human means both reverence and collapse. Right now this is the closest I can get to clarity.’
