Test Pattern

Overview

Artists are notoriously known for their inability to self promote their talents, not to mention the limited opportunities which exist for emerging artists in the local scene. This is exactly why each year Ryan Renshaw puts on a group show of the best new art in Queensland.

The eponymous gallery, which is nothing more than a large, long white rectangle, is the perfect blank canvas to showcase the freshest talent Brisbane has to offer. Renshaw, a former art school student, MTV promo producer and music/ television director, now channels a significant portion of his time promoting and providing opportunities in the contemporary arts.

Each year, Renshaw picks the most exciting upcoming artists to showcase their works during the early stages of their development – when it’s all about the wild ideas and unbridled passion. Comprising of recent graduates and unrepresented artists, this year features the work of the very talented Dana Lawrie, Hannah Piper, Yayuz Erkan, Caitlin Franzmann, Jared Worthington and Dord Burrough. Take this opportunity to see these exciting young artists before they take on the rest of the art world.
