Following the refurbishment of an Australian investment firm’s office, we introduced a rotating exhibition programme to bring contemporary art into a prominent, gallery-like thoroughfare within the workspace. With high visibility and daily footfall, the setting was ideal for a curated display that feels intentional and uplifting.
Changing Art Exhibition
Australian Investment Firm: Changing Art Exhibition Introduced After Major Office Refurbishment
The exhibition changes every two months, ensuring the environment remains fresh and engaging while showcasing a range of artists and perspectives. To deepen participation, in support of wellbeing, the programme also includes a regular art class for the firm’s employees.
Rhunaré's work taps into her rich South African heritage. Rhunaré applies sadza (a cooked cornmeal commonly eaten as a porridge) to her work, as well as combinations of more modern materials such as oils, acrylics, molding gels and collage to create highly contemporary work. She builds up layers, scratching back through the paint to rediscover previously made marks that have been buried. She refers to this as “a history that I am then able to rediscover; a way of telling the story of where I have come from.”

“The Shona Tribe of Southern Africa has a long artistic tradition of making colourful art, often on fabric using traditional geometric patterns”.
