You are warmly invited to see some Funny Old Stuff, an exhibition of oil paintings by Canberra artist Julie Loudon.

See what horrors and delights lurk in the jungles of Julie’s imagination. In her vibrant, densely patterned works, life goes ornately wild. Part fairy tale, part fever dream, Julie’s paintings tread the line between the familiar and the surreal, domestic and epic. Some scenes look innocent enough. Others are less easy to explain. Executed in obsessive detail and filled with sly humour, this is a world where nothing stays tidy for long.
