Please join us for the opening of Australian artist Renée Estée’s solo presentation, An Echo, A Prayer.
This exhibition reflects Estee’s re-engagement with home as a terrain of emotional resonance and geographic complexity. Rooted in the upheaval prompted by her mother’s cancer diagnoses, the exhibition is both elegy and echo: paintings confront absence while weaving a chorus of remembrance, ritual, and familial intimacy.
Hosted by COMA
Location: COMA, 37 Chapel Street, Marrickville
All day parking available on Victoria Road before 4pm and extra all day parking available a five-minute walk from the gallery near Henson Park Hotel, Marrickville.

“Join Antonia Perricone-Mrljak to discuss her latest body of work at Sydney Contemporary 2025.
The daughter of Italian immigrants to Australia, Antonia’s background has defined her sense of identity and underpins all aspects of her artistic process.
For Antonia, memory and mark-making have a symbiotic relationship, and are each connected not only on the canvas in the present, but from the human and environmental influences of the past.
“”The whole of our actions and desires are bound up with the existence of other human beings“ she states. “”My works are a culmination of all that has gone before me and all that comes after. I invite the viewer to make their own judgment. To experience the works in relationship to their own humanity.””

With a talk by Dr. Mark Ferson, President of the New Australian Bookplate Society
An ex libris, also known as a bookplate, is a printed or decorative label pasted into a book, often on the front endpaper, to indicate ownership. Bookplates often bear a motif relating to the book’s owner, such as a coat-of-arms, crest, badge, motto, or a design commissioned from an artist or designer. The name of the owner usually follows an inscription such as “from the books of…” or “from the library of…”, or in Latin, “ex libris”. Bookplates are important evidence for the provenance of books. The most traditional technique used to make bookplates is burin engraving. The engraved copper matrix is then printed with an intaglio press on paper, and the resulting print can be pasted into the book to indicate ownership.

Known for its immersive, process-driven and tactile nature, printmaking continues to push conceptual and material boundaries. This talk will explore the innovative practices behind the works on show and offer insights into why print and paper-based artworks are increasingly resonating with collectors – both as distinctive standalone pieces and as meaningful additions to broader collections.”

Dianne’s new works revisit her earlier unique works of painted gouache on vellum whereby influences from illuminated manuscripts and Indian miniatures combine with her use of theatre metaphors and notions of chance and fortune. These rare works take the form of small paintings on vellum with gold leaf illumination. Dianne will demonstrate how vellum is prepared for painting, and how she works with gouache paints and gold leaf illumination. Dianne’s concertina book Theatre of Embarkation (1986) created with gouache paintings on vellum and her new work will be discussed during her demonstration.
