HOLDING GROUND, curated by Gavin Wilson, investigates how the places we live in sustain the fragile web of life, and how local landscapes shape cultural identity, ecological awareness and human connection. With artists drawn from Sydney, Blue Mountains, Northern Rivers and regional NSW, the exhibition offers perspectives shaped by rural, coastal and non-metropolitan environments, while also reflecting on urban development, environmental stewardship and our relationship to land and water.
Artworks by IMANTS TILLERS, widely recognised as one of Australia’s leading contemporary artists, feature alongside Sydney-based artist JANET LAURENCE, whose internationally recognised practice engages with ecology, environment and place. They are joined by a diverse group of established and emerging artists whose work reflects deep engagement with landscape, land use and lived experience across New South Wales.
The exhibition runs at S.H. Ervin Gallery until Sunday 3 May 2026.
