BLUNT x Adam Lester is here 🌅⁠
⁠
"There is no single point of view of an artwork on an umbrella. It became more a case of telling a little story via a montage of images." – Adam Lester⁠
⁠
Inspired by the natural beauty of Australian coastal life, this limited-edition Metro was hand-painted in acrylic and ink, then cut and reconfigured across six panels — each angle revealing a different fragment of sunrise pinks, shells and shoreline.⁠

‘DOZO!’ (どうぞ) — a Japanese term conveying invitation, offering, and quiet generosity - Sets the tone for Adam Lester’s latest solo exhibition at PIERMARQ*.

In this new body of work, Lester continues his exploration of abstraction through the lens of intuition, rhythm, and memory. As always, his practice draws from sound, movement, and internal landscapes. Here, he shares insight into the pulse behind the paintings.

PIERMARQ* is pleased to present ‘Dozo!’ an exhibition of new work by Australian artist, Adam Lester. ‘Dozo’ will include paintings of oil on canvas, inspired by the artists immersive travels across Japan. The exhibition opens on Thursday 31 July, from 6-8pm and will be on view until 23 August 2025.

‘Dozo!’ - A Japanese word with a variety of meanings expressing invitation, permission, or a polite offer - invites audiences to explore a vibrant dialogue between culture and memory. Lester’s practice engages with themes of travel and culture, as a visual diary capturing fleeting, nostalgic moments. The intimate snapshots evoke a sense of place and time with a subtle interplay between tradition and modernity. Lester highlights the small, often overlooked details, street signs, quiet bar scenes, fleeting interactions that carry rich cultural meaning and capture a sense of memory and longing.

Neighbours at the bowling alley is a group show curated by Justine Wake & Caro Toledo.

Between 2003 and 2016 Justine & Caro curated annual shows for a collective of artists and friends at the long closed Arts Factory Gallery on Merivale Street, Meanjin. The shows were eclectic and inclusive and created a reliable, manageable ‘deadline’ for artists who had been otherwise pulled in life’s many directions. This collective will be reuniting in the wonderful Field Trip Gallery in May 2025 for a group show ‘Neighbours at the bowling alley’.

Our Brisbane client scored big with TWO iconic DQF Viking chairs!

We reinforced the back supports with steam-bent timber and finished with @whittle_waxes to show off the natural grain.

Wrapped in bold @zepelfabrics ‘Mardi Gras’ fabric - these Vikings are back in action!

Feat, a funky painting piece by our good friend @adslester in the back there.

What do you think?
