Salerno Gallery would like to wish you and your family all the best for this festive season! Thank you so much for your support throughout 2012, it has been a terrific year.
We will be closed until late January, so keep an eye out for our new exhibition program announced shortly. We look forward to seeing you again soon in 2013!
Over the last couple of months Salerno Gallery has been privileged to showcase amazing figurative art work by a variety of talented artists. From Sal Higgens‘ strong, expressive raw forms, to Hank Spirek‘s beautifully textual and vibrant portraits, each artist’s work has offered a unique insight into the exploration of humanity and the society we live in.
After the completion of Hank Spirek’s “On the Face of it and other body parts” solo show currently running until the 24th of November, we move to Hendrik Gericke‘s new exhibition entitled “Humourless Tumours“. Hendrik draws upon his South African upbringing to look at themes such as social hierarchy, conflict, migration and culture through his organic surreal cloud-like forms.
Check out a neat little teaser video below

Salerno Gallery is currently accepting proposals from artists and curators for our 2013 exhibition program.
We encourage exhibitions showcasing all contemporary visual practices, particularly where the artist responds to a figurative element through their own unique and creative medium.
Our ground floor street front exhibition space is light and airy with three large windows facing the always vibrant and active Glebe Point Road. It features over 65m2 of floor space, versatile hanging/display options, track lighting and 24 hour street exposure. Walls are white painted concrete and the floor has a neutral concrete surface. A selection of plinths are available upon request.

New Tracks is an collaborative exhibition that will create a visual framework for the mapping of intersecting life stories. Co-ordinating artists Annette Simpson and Jack Randell invite you to be part of the creation of collaborative 2D works culminating in an exhibition running at Salerno Gallery from 10 – 23 September 2012.
New Tracks is an engagement process. The pictures in this exhibition embody collective identity, of experience and place. Collaboratively we will have created a representation of place that individually could never have been produced.

Hello everyone. Hope you all had a terrific festive season!
Salerno Gallery has been very busy over the end of year break planning an exciting year of exhibitions and events for 2012.
We will be kicking off the year with a group exhibition of photographic works entitled “On Film”. As the title suggests, the exhibition showcases the unique properties of analogue film photography through the personal perspectives of four separate photographers. Each individual journey demonstrates a different aesthetic and subject matter, combining to illustrate a broad spectrum of analogue photographic processes from traditional handmade Bromoil prints to modern slide film photography.
The exhibition opens on the 24th of January and runs until the 11th of February. For more information and images visit the On Film exhibition page.
We look forward to seeing you all throughout 2012!
