Join us at GOMA for the opening of ‘Quilty’ and ‘Margaret Olley'

What are you saying about ‘Quilty’ and ‘Margaret Olley: A Generous Life’, Brisbane's must-see exhibitions. Join in the excitement of opening night with Bec Mac and experience both exhibitions through our vox pop.

‘Quilty’ is the first major survey exhibition in a decade of one of Australia’s most acclaimed contemporary artists, Ben Quilty. The exhibition extends from Quilty’s early reflections on the initiation rituals performed by young Australian men to his experience as an official war artist in Afghanistan and his campaign to save the lives of Bali Nine pair. It also includes his revisions of the Australian landscape, and raw, intimate portraits of himself, his family and his friends.

At the same time as ‘Quilty’, GOMA is presenting ‘Margaret Olley: A Generous Life’, a Queensland-only exhibition of more than 100 works by the late, much celebrated Australian artist who was a close muse and mentor of Quilty’s. ‘A Generous Life’ examines her legacy and influence, and profiles a life that was immersed in art – her own and those she supported.
