NOW SHOWING | 'Where the Light Rests' featuring Galia Gluckman, Elefteria Vlavianos and Agneta Ekholm.

Join us Thursday, 4 June from 5-7pm for the Opening Event coinciding with

Bringing together three distinct yet deeply connected practices, 'Where the Light Rests' considers surface as a responsive field shaped through touch, time and the quiet accumulation of process. Through layered paper constructions, restrained painterly compositions and luminous wax-based works, each artist explores the ways material can hold memory, register change and transform our experience of light.

🗓️ Exhibition dates: 28 May - 27 June

Also join us tomorrow from 2-4pm for Janet Parker-Smith's artist talk!

UPCOMING EXHIBITION | Where the Light Rests

Bringing together the practices of Agneta Ekholm, Galia Gluckman and Elefteria Vlavianos, 'Where the Light Rests' explores the relationship between surface, material and light through works shaped by layering, repetition and process.

Across painting, paper and wax, each artist approaches material with a quiet sensitivity, allowing traces of time, touch and transformation to remain visible within the work. Light is absorbed, diffused and interrupted across each practice, creating works that shift subtly through movement and duration.

Rather than resolving into a singular narrative, the exhibition invites a slower and more attentive form of looking.

Join us for the Opening Event on Thursday 4 June from 5-7pm to coincide with

UPCOMING EXHIBITION | Janet Parker-Smith 'This Wild Ride'

28 May – 13 June
Artist Talk: Saturday 30 May, 2–4pm
Opening Event: Thursday 4 June, 5-7pm

Through collage, printmaking, embroidery and found materials, Janet Parker-Smith explores ideas of mortality, memory and the permanence of change. Layering historic and contemporary imagery, her works investigate the shifting relationship between people, nature and time, where absence and presence exist simultaneously.

Tactile, intricate and deeply process-driven, the exhibition embraces transformation through making, allowing fragments, textures and materials to form new narratives and unexpected harmonies.

Join us for the artist talk with Janet Parker-Smith on Saturday 30 May from 2–4pm and at the opening event on Thursday 4 June from 5-7pm to coincide with

ON VIEW | Elefteria Vlavianos ‘The Feeling of Memory’

A glimpse inside the gallery of Elefteria’s latest body of work now showing at .M Contemporary.

Working with layered wax and encaustic techniques, .vlavianos explores the idea of post-memory; how stories, images and emotions are carried across generations. Soft, luminous surfaces hold traces of the past, with her signature oval motif echoing the intimacy of inherited photographs and keepsakes.

Visit us in Darlinghurst to experience the works in person, or view the works online via the link in bio.

Exhibition runs until 23rd May!

Congratulations to Agneta Ekholm on being named a finalist in The King’s School Art Prize.

'Unspoken Hold' reflects a practice shaped over decades, where gesture, removal, and restraint work in quiet dialogue. Through a process of layering and reduction, the surface holds a subtle tension, forms emerging and dissolving, light and shadow folding into one another.

The result is a work that resists declaration, instead inviting a slower encounter, one that lingers in what is felt, rather than said.

We’re so proud to see Agneta’s deeply intuitive practice recognised.
