Damian Showyin with Studio A - Suede Blue

Suede blue is the first solo exhibition of Damian Showyin, initially presented at Mosman Art Gallery. It presents Damian's output across a formative year, during which he evolved his long running painting practice into the three-dimensional sphere. Filling two entire gallery spaces, Damian's exhibition intersects painting, sculpture and architecture, and builds an environment of curiosity, wonder and playfulness. The audience is invited to self-navigate Damian's dynamic world, finding both points of interest and moments of meditation. Damian Showyin works with Studio A, a Sydney-based leading supported studio for artists with intellectual disability. Proudly funded by NSW Government. Presented in conjunction with Studio A. Originally commissioned by Mosman Art Gallery and curated by Shan Turner-Carroll. As a leading Australian supported studio, Studio A is driven to ensure artists with intellectual disability have a voice in contemporary Australian culture and to provide employment to their artists through sustainable creative industry careers.
