DEFIANCE I - NEWTOWN
http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Defiance-Gallery-I-Newtown/243130222371729
Since its very inception in 1995, Defiance Gallery in Newtown has been synonymous with innovation in exhibiting painting and sculpture. Home to a range of artists - from promising newcomers to prominent Australian and international artists - Defiance Gallery hosts an inspiring annual calendar of painting and sculpture exhibitions for gallery and invited artists. This includes The Landscape Show, The Drawing Show and The Miniature Sculpture Show. In addition to its excellent reputation for contemporary paintings and works on paper, Defiance Gallery's wholehearted support and encouragement of sculpture in Australia has cemented its role as the leading sculpture gallery in Sydney. The gallery is also proud to represent The Estate of Lyndon Dadswell and The Estate of Ian Mackay, two pivotal figures in the history of Australian sculpture.
2011 heralds a revival of concept shows known as ‘Encounters' that challenge artists to create a work to a brief outside of their normal studio practice. Encounters such as 5 Easy Pieces, Figure in the Landscape, Tribal Echo and Make a Box caused quite a stir amongst artists and collectors in the mid-nineties. 30 contemporaries will participate in each sculptural challenge.
