** Next week DOMENICO de CLARIO Arles Opening 6-8pm Thursday October 8 2026 To be Officially Opened at 6.30pm by Robert Nelson - Principal Honorary Fellow | University of Melbourne October 1 - November 7 2026 Jacob Hoerner Galleries First Floor Pleysier Perkins 89 Wellington St StKilda Australia 3182 Open 11-5 Thu-Sat & by Appt Images above - Domenico de Clario’s ‘Arles’ (2026) Series first shown at the 8th Century Église Saint-Genest, Arles, France, an installation of all 187 paintings. - Arles DOMENICO de CLARIO ‘Arles’ (2026) is the outcome of 2 years that Domenico de Clario spent in the South of France between 2024-2026. Arriving at first by a set of intuitive steps that brought him in direct contact with the light, landscape and Vincent’s vision of the region, once there de Clario immediately set about making 187 paintings, the very same number that van Gogh made during his 14 months in 1888-89 in that unique Provencal city that has now become a cogent component of a timeless visual language. It was through this deep immersion in and meditation on van Gogh’s vision that led to de Clario making the very same number of ethereal images, at times vivacious and filled with colour, at times muted and atmospherically charged with an ‘Arlesian radiance’ whose power directly links to those created by Vincent. It is a series constituting a single work as well as the sum of its parts, each emitting unique singularity. First installed in the 8th century church of Saint Genest this contemplative context intensified the deep feeling of ‘spirit of place’ that was inherent both in the making of each work and in its site-specific installation. Following this the 187 paintings were transported back to Australia in the middle of this year in order to be shown to audiences more intimately familiar with de Clario and his contribution to global contemporary art from an Antipodean perspective ‘Arles’ PDF Catalogue Available by Request 🔖 Jacob Hoerner Galleries First Floor Pleysier Perkins 89 Wellington St St.Kilda Australia 3182 Open 11-5 Thu-Sat & by Appt For Further Information DM / info@jacobhoernergalleries.com +61 (0) 412 243 818

Some more film shots from all the cameras we had scattered around on the day of our German Wedding. It’s been a joy to see all the happiness captured from everyone’s different perspectives.

Eeek one month married today - sorry about the delay in letting you know 🤪 24.08.2026 - for our 12-years of best friendship we signed the papers and got married in Pulheim, Germany among Anika’s family, Marcelle’s dad and partner, and EU friends. It feels like a hypersaturated memory you can keep squeezing like a wet towel and more will come out. Also thanks to everyone for taking work off on a Monday because Anika didn’t want to have to remember another date… Here are some 35mm shots from our German wedding signing day. 31 days married, 730 days engaged, 4,018 days together and 4,383 days of knowing each other. To hopefully 1,000,000 more together!! We can’t wait to do it all again in Aus in December!!

A weekend spent wandering through studios, conversations, colour and process. There’s something special about seeing where ideas take shape—paint on the floor, works in progress, stories behind the canvas. Thank you to the artists (many of whom are my friends) who opened their spaces as part of the Footscray Open Studio Trail. It’s a reminder that art isn’t just what hangs on the wall. It’s everything that happens before it gets there. @andreahuelinartist @larateesart @cosgrovecarmel @racheltheodorakis @godwinbradbeer @theartroom.au #OpenStudioTrail #MelbourneArt #ArtistStudio #ContemporaryArt #CreativeCommunity

What a treat to peek behind the curtain and get to tour the art studios of some incredible Melbourne creatives as part of the @openstudiotrail yesterday. Super inspiring indeed, I came away with a dogged determination to find a cool AF space in my hood! If anyone knows of studio space in the Eastern suburbs of Melbourne please let me know. @footscraymakerslab @cosgrovecarmel @larateesart @thecottonmills_footscray @godwinbradbeer @andreahuelinartist @sarahlugton_art Abstract art | Textured art | Australian artist Original art | Melbourne artist | Handmade #artoninstagram #interiordesign #readytohang #art #artist

** Final Day + Finissage 3-5pm Saturday May 23 2026 BRETT WHITELEY NUDES & ELI van ENGELEN LINES OF COMMUNICATION Open 11-5 Thu-Sat & by Appt April 16 - May 23 2026 Jacob Hoerner Galleries First Floor Pleysier Perkins 89 Wellington St St.Kilda Australia 3182 Various Artworks + Excerpt from ‘Whiteley’ on ABC Iview - The svelte, seductive & opulent graphite on canvas works by Eli van Engelen are invariably alluring, at times frivolous, & on the occasion filled with a steely intensity that make them feel both intimate and elusive leading her viewers to pause and peer into the suspended cinematic moments she creates. In her latest Series ‘Lines of Communication’ the figure is once again rendered through the careful application of powdered graphite onto unprimed canvas. This process allows line and tone to emerge with a soft-focus sensitivity, producing surfaces that feel at once tactile and ephemeral imbuing her refined compositions with a dreamlike, almost surreal atmosphere.  So in this context, this New Artist from the 21st Century, who has been inspired by & has an insatiable curiosity in the further & further away epoch of the 20th Century, will be presented in dialogue with 3 lithographs of the female nude from the 1970s & early 1980s by the iconic Brett Whiteley. This pairing bridges generations, presenting van Engelen’s graphite works alongside a master of Australian Art renowned for his use of line to depict the human form is certain to result a dynamic exchange, a reframing that offers a renewed vitality to Whiteley’s work seen in this way while simultaneously emboldening van Engelen’s evolving practice and opening new paths of discovery within her work. ‘Lines of Communication’ by Eli van Engelen & Brett Whiteley’s ‘Nudes’ will run from April 16 – May 23 with a Finissage from 3-5pm Saturday May 23 2026… Mark the Date :) PDF Catalogues Available by Request 🔖 @e1i33 @jacobhoernergalleries @jacobhoernergalleries_prahran @pleysierperkins
