This is Not a Solo Show

Michelle Cawthorn and Peter Sharp

7 March - 31 May 2026

Marking the tenth anniversary of their ongoing artistic collaboration, Michelle Cawthorn and Peter Sharp revisit This Is Not a Solo Show, a project exploring how their distinct practices intersect and diverge. While Sharp’s paintings capture the external rhythms of the natural world, Cawthorn’s works chart the internal terrain of thought and emotion.

Presented together, their works become a meditation on dialogue — between partners, materials and perspectives. This third iteration includes reconfigured works from earlier exhibitions at Verge Gallery, Sydney, 2016 and ANCA, Canberra, 2024, alongside new pieces conceived during their 2025 residency at the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation in Connecticut, USA.
