- » 31/07/2024: It is a great pleasure to announce that The Commercial is representing Angela Brennan and welcome her warmly to the gallery. Brennan (b. 1960, l. Naarm/Melbourne) is an artist whose practice over four decades is a thesis in colour and its relationships. She creates exuberant, primordial experiences in oil paint. While predominantly abstract, her paintings, footnoted with external references in titles, text and figurative elements, "build a potent self-image of the artist, reflecting her various interests, beliefs and preferences" (Michael Graf). For art of such unbridled joy, Brennan’s work houses an erudite core. It is sensate, material, intellectual. The Commercial will be presenting an exhibition of Brennan’s paintings from her recent solo show at the Art Gallery of Ballarat in October this year.
