Brave New World

Group Exhibition

18 August — 28 August 2015

Brave New World is the inaugural exhibition of Nanda\Hobbs Contemporary.

After 12 years as Art Equity, directors Raj Nanda and Ralph Hobbs decided it was time to change the gallery name to reflect their dedication to development and expansion of the contemporary art base. This exhibition embodies the Nanda\Hobbs Contemporary ethos and our vision.  

The visual arts have always played an important part in the biography of nations. Artworks remain long after the artists pass, and their vision contributes vitally to our understanding of the how and why of our lives. Australia’s cultural shift and the ensuing identity discourse are of profound importance to the future of this nation.

The Brave New World exhibition brings together, in Sydney, the array of outstanding artists represented by Nanda\Hobbs Contemporary. It is our artists who are on the frontline, shaping our future while recognising the foundations of the past.

Needless to say, your access to Nanda\Hobbs Contemporary and our Brave New World is not limited by your location. We invite you to join us at nandahobbs.com.
