‘everything in its right place’
Oscar Nimmo, Jacquie Meng, Billie Robertson
3-19 July, 2025
Opening Reception: Friday, 4 July 5-7pm
RSVPs via bio encouraged but not required.
Oscar Nimmo’s (@oscarnimmo_ ) abstract paintings play with recognition and memory using shape, colour and gesture to evoke emotional responses without prescribing meaning. His process resists rational control, instead leaning into instinct and repetition. As John Berger writes in Ways of Seeing, “The relation between what we see and what we know is never settled.” Nimmo’s work sits in this unsettled space, where the familiar becomes strange and the abstract becomes unexpectedly intimate. His work appears abstract or ambiguous, but it’s driven by deep emotional and aesthetic instincts. Each element is placed with sensitivity, not to explain something, but to evoke something. It is this tension between control and feeling that gives the work its power.

Visit Woollahra Gallery this weekend to see Oscar Nimmo's exhibition 'I Stand in the Present Moment and Look Forward.'
"The work’s overlapping colours and simplified shapes evoke the sense of viewing through windows. 'I Stand in the Present Moment and Look Forward' reflects on the duality of looking ahead to the future while remaining grounded in the present—an approach the artist interprets as integral to both the act of painting and a way of life."
Artworks available through the gallery e-store.
On view: 12 March - 6 April
