DEFIANCE I - NEWTOWN

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.

2010 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.

DEFIANCE II - PADDINGTON

At Defiance Gallery's new premises in William St, Paddington you will find contemporary painting and sculpture shown in a domestic setting amongst a rich selection of furniture, objects, rugs and artifacts. Defiance II will also show select group and solo exhibitions.

THE WAREHOUSE

Whether it's for a small courtyard, a city garden or a rural property, Defiance Gallery has access to over 200 outdoor sculptures. A collection of these sculptures, together with an expansive selection of Indian artifacts collected in the early seventies, can be viewed at the Defiance Gallery Warehouse by appointment. In recent years, Defiance Gallery has grown to offer a comprehensive interior design service, which includes consultation and the sourcing of artworks, furniture and artifacts.
