Join the artists of CBD Gallery’s September exhibition, Inner Currents, for an engaging hour of insight and discussion into each of their works. Inner Currents is a group exhibition showcasing five artists and their unique approaches to abstraction and reflecting their lived experiences. Each artist transcends literal representation, instead utilising abstract art to delve into the emotional and psychological complexities that shape their identity and perception of the world. Viewers are invited to explore these deeply personal inquiries, recognising that the abstract processes reveal not only the artists’ inner worlds but also broader societal concerns.

Hannah Quinlivan’s exhibition The Weight We Float Above presents a compelling exploration of line, form, and atmosphere through her signature “spatial drawings”.
Known for transforming drawing into immersive, multidimensional experiences, Quinlivan employs materials such as wire, LED light, aluminium, acrylic and salt to craft installations that trace the contours of contemporary emotion and ecological tension. This exhibition features a dynamic mix of new works — spanning installations, paintings, and sculptures — that blur the boundaries between drawing and sculpture. Through intricate, woven forms and shifting shadows, Quinlivan invites viewers to navigate the delicate balance between weight and lightness, permanence and impermanence, offering a meditative reflection on the structures.
