Abundance: The Pleasure of Plenty

  • Free
  • Art

A group exhibition exploring the pleasure found in the cultivation of beauty. Featuring new work by Margaret Ackland, Elizabeth Barnett, Chelsea Gustafsson, Michelle Molinari, Bronwyn Hill, Miranda Joy Summers, Jacob Leary and guest artist Narelle Zeller.

Epicurus believed that the purpose of life was to seek pleasure – not indulgence without thought, but the art of living well. True pleasure, for him, was found in beauty, friendship, nature and the quietude of a life lived in appreciation of its fleeting joys.

The Pleasure of Plenty gathers artists who offer these moments of soulful replenishment. They present beauty without apology – lush, tender and generous – each work affirming that joy is not a luxury but a vital act of renewal.
