Sally Gabori’s works show a radical freedom.
Mirdidingkingathi Juwarnda Sally Gabori (ca. 1924–2015) began painting only late in life, after growing up on Bentinck Island as part of the Kaiadilt people, largely untouched by European influence. Yet she brought something utterly uncompromised to the canvas: vast fields of colour that pulse with emotional authority, spatial intelligence and lived experience.
Her paintings are often described as abstraction, but they are in fact maps of memory, Country and ancestral knowledge. The chromatic power in her work — luminous pinks, saturated whites, deep blacks - feels fearless. There is no hesitation, no decorative intent, just conviction. The gestures are direct, almost elemental, and yet profoundly sophisticated in their compositional balance, rhythm and scale.
What I love about Gabori’s intuitive, gestural and vibrant paintings is that they prove that art is a universal, non-verbal and non-exclusive language. Her work speaks far beyond geography, ethnography or periods of time. It stands confidently alongside the great voices of modern and contemporary painting - while expanding the conversation beyond Western art history itself.
For me, Sally Gabori ranks among the most important painters of the late 20th and early 21st century. I strongly encourage collectors and institutions alike to take a closer look at her oeuvre.
This is work of cultural depth, art historical relevance and undeniable visual power. And importantly: compared to many Western modern and contemporary masters, her market remains remarkably accessible - if not still underrated.
Who would guess that these extraordinary paintings were created only fifteen years ago, in remote Australia, by an artist who had never seen the work of Joan Mitchell, Jackson Po***ck or Helen Frankenthaler?

Welcoming “Harlequin” by Ioanna Limniou ( ) to our collection.
I first encountered Ioanna Limniou’s work in 2021 at the Degree Show of the Athens School of Fine Arts - one painting stopped me in my tracks and stayed with me ever since. Since then, I have followed Ioanna’s artistic development closely, admiring the quiet emotional depth and sensitivity of her paintings.
“Harlequin” particularly drew me in through its enigmatic atmosphere and luminous palette of greens and yellows. The fragmented diamond-patterned costume, the reclining figure and the black cat create a scene that feels intimate, melancholic and dreamlike at once. Rendered with Ioanna’s restrained and highly sensitive approach to colour and light, the work possesses a timeless, almost poetic stillness.
Ioanna Limniou also participates in “Homecoming” - the inaugural exhibition at our future private artspace and salon on Ithakis Street in Kypseli, Athens, curated by Polina Kosmadaki.
The exhibition is on view until 27 June 2026, open Thursday–Saturday, 12.00–20:00, and by appointment.

From the collection: „Tears of the Djulpan“ (2023), by Djakanu Yunupingu.
Djakangu Yunupingu (born 1945, Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, Australia) is a Yolngu elder and distinguished contemporary Australian artist based in Yirrkala in the Northern Territory, whose celestial paintings depict the story of the Djulpan, the story of the Pleiades constellation known as the Seven Sisters.
Working from the Buku-Larrŋgay Mulka Centre ( ) in Yirrkala, Yunupingu first exhibited her paintings in 2021 at the age of seventy-two, after caring for her late sister Mrs N Yunupiŋu for many years. She had previously participated in printmaking workshops with her sisters when in 2011 they collectively made the renowned, Seven Sisters suite of prints.
Yunupingu paints on bark using earth pigments and gapan (clay) applied with a small brush called a Marwat, which is a small brush made by hand using fine, straight, human hair. She methodically applies the paint onto the surface of the bark using a technique called rarrk (cross-hatching). Through dedicated practice she has honed and refined this technique.

・・・
With deep respect and admiration, we warmly congratulate Gaypalani Waṉambi on being awarded the 2026 Wynne Prize at the Art Gallery of New South Wales.
Gaypalani made the following statement when she received the news this morning.
‘My father was a great artist and I learnt by his side. He made bark paintings, video and metal. He passed away too young and we miss him. We are descended from the Honey spirit Wuyal. He cut the tree at Gurka’wuy and the honey flowed to the sea.‘
This recognition honours Gaypalani’s enduring commitment to sharing her family’s stories and artistic legacy. We are humbled to see this achievement celebrated on such a significant stage and extend our heartfelt congratulations to Gaypalani, her family, and community. Thank you and congratulations to all the Archibald, Wynne and Sulman finalists and winners
We would also like to thanks the team for their representation and dedication to supporting Gaypalani and her family.

We love the work of George Condo!
Thank you for this exquisite portrait of the artist and his practice!
・・・
George Condo (b. 1957, Concord, New Hampshire) is one of the defining painters of late 20th- and 21st-century figuration, known for constructing psychologically fractured faces that draw on Old Master painting, Cubism, caricature, and American popular culture.
He studied art history and music theory, worked briefly for Andy Warhol in New York, and later developed what he called “Artificial Realism,” a mode that treats the invented, the grotesque, and the mentally unstable as legitimate subjects of portraiture.
Rather than depicting likeness in any conventional sense, Condo’s portraits often stage the human subject as divided, theatrical, and multiple at once. That tension, between elegance and distortion, comedy and dread, is central to his importance.
Across painting and drawing, he reworked the legacies of European portraiture through a contemporary psychological lens, producing figures that feel less observed than internally exposed.
