Veronica Rojas Nunez: Shadow Work
2 May - 29 June
Veronica Rojas Nuñez is an Afro-Chilean painter and conceptual artist. Her practice engages with critical conversations surrounding cultural identity. Nuñez uses her body and movement to transcribe narratives onto surfaces, forming ebbs within the structure and creating shape. Placing her body directly onto large format materials allows the recording of choreography to occur, as she outlines inherited movements and lineage. The result becomes a painted quilt of heritage.Shadow work is the artist’s first major exhibition in Australia, in which Nuñez will transform the gallery to mirror her studio space with towering canvasses, music, and works in progress.
