Sydney Contemporary
The Commercial is delighted to present a solo exhibition by Angela Brennan in our booth for Sydney Contemporary at Carriageworks, 11.09.25 – 14.09.25.
Over four decades, Angela Brennan’s revered and influential practice is a study in the transcendence of colour and thresholds of form and experience. Her large-scale oil paintings gift us the exhilaration of being with art and of being in the world. Brennan’s titles draw upon her interests in physics, philosophy, pre-modern art and antiquities as sources of poetic insight towards an understanding of abstraction. Angela Brennan (b. 1960) is best known as an abstract painter though her work includes figurative painting, portraiture, text and objects. Her exhibition for Sydney Contemporary sees her return to ceramics and create her first work in bronze.
Brennan has been the subject of three solo museum exhibitions and is represented extensively in public collections and major international corporate collections. Earlier this year, she was included in The Intelligence of Painting at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, a survey of leading Australian women painters.
