New artists. Artists new to galleries. People that are new to art. People that are new to galleries. People that have never been into a gallery before.

Among the exhibitions of Australian art curated by Buckley is the first major retrospective show of Sidney Nolan’s works on paper in the late 70s and Nocturne: Images of Night and Darkness in Australian Art from Colonial to Contemporary in 2002.

John Buckley curated the Loti and Victor Smorgon Collection of Contemporary Australian Art which is now part of the collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney. He has acted as an advisor to a number of major private and corporate collectors including the Michael Buxton Collection, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Deutsche Bank, the Westin Hotel and is the current advisor to the Grand Hyatt, Melbourne.

For the first time, Helen Gory Galerie is set to exhibit in Sydney this September, which will present a handful of their represented artists: Chris Aerfeldt, Abbey McCulloch, Tim Moore, Luisa Rossitto, Carmel Seymour, Jacqui Stockdale and Lorene Taurerewa.

The group exhibition will highlight the dynamic practices of this diverse group of artists. Their works are underpinned by a sense of contrast and contradiction. Nothing is quite what it seems. Hyper- realism sits aside other-worldliness; the smug certainty of reason and science questions the mythology and spirituality of artistic practice; past and present collide and intersect; and firm lines waiver and blur, in works that are rich with complexity and embodied meaning.
