COMING HOME

Group Exhibition

17 July — 27 July 2024

Nanda\Hobbs is delighted to be in residence at Madeline Gordon Gallery in Launceston, Tasmania. Straight from the Nanda\Hobbs stable, including finalists in this year's Archibald Prize, the carefully curated exhibition has been selected from some of Australia's most exciting contemporary artists. 

For two of the directors of Nanda\Hobbs, one of Australia's leading commercial art galleries, this is a homecoming. Ralph and Sophie Hobbs left Launceston in July 1998 for Sydney; both having studied fine arts at the University of Tasmania. The Hobbs' have a deep affinity and connection with Northern Tasmania, returning several times a year for family gatherings, painting expeditions, fly fishing, and Tasmania's famous produce. Ralph Hobbs, who completed a Masters covering historical investigations into the Tasmanian landscape, holds what can only be described as a life-long passion for the place he calls home, unabated in the decades since travelling north. Ralph was a teacher at Launceston Grammar, the college of Tasmanian artists Katy Woodroffe and Helene Weeding, and taught Madeline Gordon. He was also one of the judges of this year's Glover Prize.
