Braemar Gallery

Official opening event at 2pm on Saturday 18 April.

This exhibition shows some of the special places where water is moving through the mountains and highlands in its own diverse ways, enhancing the areas that it flows through. The environments around these features are rich, lush and visually attractive. The places included focus on well known and less well known areas. Each one reveals how the appearance and quality of the environments are enhanced by the types of water features found in the Blue Mountains and highland areas.

Each work in this series of naïve paintings on canvas implies an open narrative that provokes curiosity. Disturbing sensations and emotions are evoked by gestural mark-making and coloured by the palette of memory. Masked figures, lost children and hybrid creatures inhabit remembered and imagined interiors and landscapes. These emerging characters are ambivalently rendered as sometimes playful, often abject and occasionally threatening - entangled in storybook scenes and haunted by colonial histories of separation and loss.

Freedom is Beautiful presents new and recent works by Kurdish refugee artist Mostafa “Moz” Azimitabar, including his 2022 Archibald self-portrait and a series of medium and large-scale canvases. Each work, painted with a toothbrush, reflects survival, connection and freedom. Together they map a journey from detention to life in Australia, revealing art as survival, hope and resilience. The exhibition calls the audience to reflect on freedom as a human right. Seeking asylum as a human right. Refugees deserve safety and dignity.
