Still

A Together In Art Pocket Exhibition curated by Anne Ryan

Art can excite the eye and mind. Art can be uncomfortable and exhilarating. And sometimes, when things are hard – when the mind and heart are racing faster than they should – art can be a place to find respite. These are works from the Gallery's collection that I have turned to in the past months of uncertainty and dislocation. They share a certain stillness, whether found in nature or the arrangement of forms. They have brought me peace and calm. Maybe they will for you too.

Anne Ryan is curator of Australian art at the Art Gallery of New South Wales
