• Sheila Hicks

  Sheila Hicks is an artist whose focus, for over six decades, has been ‘the work’, turning thread and fibre into sculptural installations that speak in a universal language to audiences all over the world. They join nature to culture, engaging colour, surface and form
  to echo modes of construction shared by birds, gardeners and architects alike.

• The best or nothing

  Michael Zavros is an artist who likes what he likes, no apology.
  Over the past 25 years, he’s developed a reputation for alluring –
  and polarising – works about luxury objects, material culture and
  his children. He talks to Jane O’Sullivan about his survey exhibition
  The Favourite, and an ambitious new sculpture that is all about reflections.

• Brian Robinson

  A childhood spent on Waiben (Thursday Island) still courses through Brian Robinson, informing his sculptures and exquisitely detailed linocuts and prints: the four seasonal winds of kuki, sager, zey and naigai (northwest, southeast, south and north); the migration of birds; the tides and monsoons; the floral blooms and flowering trees.

  Chantal Fraser makes art with political and subversive messages, despite a level of shrouding and opacity.
  An alluring aesthetic travels throughout her fifirst major survey with a cadence and tempo that welcomes its audience, all the while shifting the ground under our feet to transcend cultural conditioning and attitudes.
