Thank you to all the friends & strangers who rocked up to my opening last night at the Trop. It meant more to me than you probably know.

There’s something ironic about the way artists spend a lifetime working in solitude, all in an attempt to connect with other humans. And opening parties are when we finally get to share our meditations on the strange business of being alive.

Maybe it’s an ancient impulse. The caveman returning to the village to share the antelope he’d hunted. The artists’ contribution is the antelopes scrawled on the cave walls.

I truly appreciate everyone who came to see my cave drawings last night.

Gone Troppo will remain on display until the end of Sept. Come in for coffee, cocktails, comestibles and culture.

Catalogue at link in bio.

Big thanks to mauriceterzini

OLSEN Gallery is proud to present an exciting selection of represented artists for the 10th edition of Sydney Contemporary, featuring the work of London-based photographer Joseph McGlennon, Paris-based Australian painter Babette Robertson, Sydney-based ceramicist, sculptor and painter Stephen Bird, Sydney-based sculptor Aaron Crothers and Sydney-based painter Evie Adasal.

@timjolsen @josephmcglennon @babetterobertson @stephen_bird_artist @aaroncrothers

Bringing together five distinct voices from the gallery stable, the presentation explores themes of storytelling, imagination, memory and transformation through a diverse range of media. From McGlennon’s meticulously detailed photographic tableaux and Bird’s exuberant, satirical ceramics, to Robertson’s atmospheric paintings, Adasal’s bold visual language and Crothers’ dynamic sculptural forms, the exhibition highlights the breadth and vitality of contemporary practice across both Australian and international contexts.

Ep. 78 Evie Adasal

Evie Adasal is an artist whose practice has evolved — from photography and film through to painting, from direct landscape observation toward a more conceptually layered engagement with the environment.

She brings an unusually layered visual intelligence to her painting practice. Her work is rooted in abstraction, drawn from the cultivated landscapes of public gardens and urban green spaces, and built through a process of slow, meditative looking and careful, beautiful layering of colour.

She continues to push the boundaries of how landscapes can be interpreted through abstraction.

Evie’s work ‘navigates the delicate balance between order and spontaneity, restraint and vibrancy. Her palette reflects this tension, as she moves between subtlety and intensity, bringing together elements that are both harmonious and disruptive’.

For the past three years, she has also been awarded a number of shortlistings, including in prestigious national prizes such as the National Emerging Art Prize, Fisher’s Ghost Award, Hawkesbury Art Prize and the Georges River Art Prize, while winning the Anthea Polson Gallery Award at the Paddington Art Prize in 2023 and she’s very recently had a successful exhibition at Olsen Gallery in Sydney.

Evie (@evie.adasal) is represented by Olsen Gallery, Sydney (@olsen_gallery) and can be seen from Sept 26 at @sydneycontemporary

Sydney-based artist @evie.adasal creates vibrant geometric compositions that explore colour, perception, and the unexpected relationships between form and light.

Her intuitive approach transforms simple shapes into dynamic visual experiences, where structure meets spontaneity and every colour choice becomes part of a larger conversation.

Evie Adasal makes paintings that sneak up on you. They’re calm, confident, and easy to live with, but the longer you look, the more they give back. There’s a generosity to them. The colours sing, the compositions click, and they make a room feel better just by being there.

On the theme of paired back abstraction, Evie Adasal’s work is wonderful. @evie.adasal is a landscape painter and a consumate colourist, she paints what she notices in her daily walks through the urban landscape, most particularly the Botantical Gardens that grace the edge of Sydney Harbour. Oh, and I’m very lucky to own the little painting (top) titled ‘Still’ on the last slide. Evie is represented by @olsen_gallery

Evie Adasal’s exhibition “Dopamine” continues at Olsen Gallery this week, current until 23 May.

@evie.adasal @timjolsen @fatografi_insta

As Evie writes:
“Dopamine is a neurotransmitter involved in motivation and reward prediction, often associated with anticipation rather than reward itself. It drives the impulse to seek, to return, and to pursue something not yet realised.

In my practice, this sense of anticipation unfolds through returning to the gardens and through the process of painting itself. I am searching for a particular moment of resolution a ‘hit’ where colour, structure and rhythm lock into place. That moment is never fixed, only approached, and it is this ongoing pursuit that the work holds”.
