Tweed Regional Gallery collection

Drawn entirely from the Tweed Regional Gallery collection, Stillness: And a touch of reticence, highlights the beauty of stillness through a selection of portraiture. Captured in a momentary poise, the subjects in each portrait entice us to contemplate their reservations within and the richer narratives that extend beyond the frame.

The exhibition includes a selection of paintings, photographs, and works on paper by leading Australian artists including Olive Cotton, Max Dupain, Tracey Moffatt, Greg Weight, Michael Zavros and more.
