The Works of Peter Neilson

  • Free
  • Art

A striking exhibition of works by acclaimed Melbourne-born artist Peter Neilson.

Neilson’s evocative paintings blur the lines between reality and imagination, drawing viewers into cinematic, noir-inspired narratives that capture the mood of dark urban life. Rich in tension, detail and atmosphere, his work invites contemplation of the stories unfolding just beyond the surface.

On display at Sofi's Lounge, Level 1.
