Spring 1883 Art Fair

Room 322 | Hotel Windsor, Melbourne 

August 13 – 16th, 2025

For SPRING1883 IX, Five Walls Gallery thoughtfully considers the Victorian-era furnishings and historical setting of the Hotel Windsor. In dialogue with the ornate interiors, the gallery introduces a compelling mix of painting and sculpture that both complements and contrasts the surrounding space.

The presentation features a focused selection of contemporary painting and sculpture by artists engaging with abstraction, materiality, and spatial dialogue. Featuring represented and associated artists Shuhei Fukuda, PJ Hickman, Sean Hogan, Zhejun (Joyce) Huang, David Sequeira & Tim Johnson, Emma Langridge, Sarah Robson, Lachlan Stonehouse, Michael S. L. Vandorpe, and Ian Wells, the presentation highlights diverse approaches to minimalist and process-driven practices. Each work reflects a rigorous engagement with formal language, perceptual experience, and material processes—articulating the gallery’s ongoing commitment to critical inquiry and the evolving discourse of contemporary abstraction.
