Overview

Paddington is famed for its collection of independent art galleries — and it will soon add a vibrant new space to its collection. Set in an 1899 heritage building on Oxford Street, The Concetta Antico Gallery will display the work of one of the world's most colourful artists, kicking off with her latest exhibition Visions of the Muse.

Concetta Antico is world-renowned for her unique hyper-coloured oil paintings. Gifted with tetrachromacy — the scientifically endorsed condition which allows her to perceive around 100 million colours (your average Joe sees about one million) — Antico is venerated as the 'colour queen', which she channels into her paintings of flora and fauna. Over her career, Antico has sold over 1000 original works, which are held in both public and private collections worldwide. 

To celebrate her new Sydney gallery, Antico is throwing a free grand opening party on Saturday, July 13, from 6–10pm. Drop by and see Antico painting live for an audience. There'll be music, food and libations to enjoy, too.

The grand opening party, Visions of the Muse, will take place on Saturday, July 13, from 6–10pm. It's free to attend but registration is recommended. Visions of the Muse will be open from Thursday, July 11–Wednesday, August 7. The gallery will operate from 11am–6pm, Thursday through Saturday, and from 2–5pm on Sundays (and by appointment, too).
