Tarryn Gill is a multidisciplinary artist based in Boorloo/Perth, Western Australia, working across sculpture, installation and performance. Psychological ideas & archetypes have long played a role in Gill’s work, whereby art-making is used as a bridge between the conscious and unconscious, personal and collective, contemporary and ancient. Gill’s aesthetics, materials and processes are informed by her background in dance and competitive Calisthenics from the age of 5 to 25 and she draws upon this source material to create works that assert the power and value of feminine, personal and intuitive against the masculine model of genius that has defined much of art history.
 
Through her solo and collaborative practices, Gill has exhibited works and undertaken residency projects across Australia, Argentina, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Portugal, the United Kingdom and the United States. In 2020, Gill was commissioned by the Fremantle Arts Centre & DLGSC for the exhibition Bodywork, creating three large-scale works, Limber 1, Limber 2 and Limber 3. These works were acquired by the Art Gallery of Western Australia and presented in The View From Here, a 2021 survey of contemporary art from WA. A series of subsequent works were presented in 2021 in her first Sydney solo exhibition Dream State, Gallery Sally Dan-Cuthbert. That year Gill also won the Acquisitive Invitation Art Award 15 Artists with a reclining figure Limber (Bather). In 2023, Gill exhibited in Portrait 23: Identity, National Portrait Gallery and was awarded the prestigious Lester Prize for her work Limber (self-portrait in relief). In 2024, Gill is included in Hair Pieces at Heidi Museum of Modern Art, and will be featured in the major survey exhibition, Radical Textiles, Art Gallery South Australia.
 
 
Gallery Sally Dan-Cuthbert

Gallery Sally Dan-Cuthbert was established in 2019 by director Sally Dan-Cuthbert. The first of its kind in Australia, the gallery represents local and international artists and designers, delivering an intergenerational programme of rigorous contemporary art and collectible design.

 

Represented artists and designers regularly exhibit in surveys, biennales, and significant thematic exhibitions in notable institutions globally. Their work is collected into important public and private collections around the world, including The National Gallery of Australia, Australia; Museum of Contemporary Art, Australia; Auckland Art Gallery, NZ; Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, NZ; Los Angeles County Museum, USA; Brooklyn Museum, USA; The British Museum, UK; Kunst von Frauen in der Sammlung Ulla Pietzsch, Germany.

 

The gallery’s internal programme celebrates diverse approaches to media across art and design, with carefully orchestrated intersections of these parallel disciplines. The gallery presents solo exhibitions with emerging, mid-career and established artists and designers alongside curated group exhibitions. The gallery also participates in prestigious fairs and festivals internationally.

 

Gallery Sally Dan-Cuthbert is located on McLachlan Avenue in Rushcutters Bay, Sydney. The pre-existing building has been refurbished into a light-filled exhibition space with an emphasis on providing accessibility to quality art and design for all.
