FAR NIENTE

Natalia Bennett

Friday 9 May – Saturday 31 May

Exhibition Launch: 5.30pm, Thursday 8 May

Sketching Stillness, Observational Drawing Workshop — More details coming soon

Far Niente is a contemplative exhibition that invites us to embrace slowness, presence, and the quiet magic found in everyday moments. Through delicate gouache and acrylic paintings, Natalia Bennett captures fleeting beauty—sun-drenched stillness, the weight of pause, and the poetry of the ordinary. Through confident use of shape and colour, her work becomes a meditation on simplicity—reminding us that stillness is not emptiness, but a rich, immersive experience.

Entry to the galleries is free.

This project was made possible by the Australian Government Regional Arts Fund, which supports the arts in regional and remote Australia.
