Forget minimalism – this gallery is embracing the biggest and brightest

Get ready for a free maximalist exhibition at Brisbane’s Gallery of Modern Art, 28 June to 6 October.
Two photos of art installations. Top is a larger-than-life realistic sculpture of a woman lying in bed with a contemplative expression. The bottom shows two children playing in a room filled with colour dots. Shown at Brisbane Gallery of Modern Art.

If you’re tired of contemplating the meaning of a single curved line or an arrangement of metal cubes, then the upcoming exhibition, Wonderstruck at Brisbane’s Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA), may just offer the visual extravaganza you need.

”Patricia Piccinini and Ron Mueck’s hyperreal sculptures offer a window into the fragility of the human experience, inviting viewers to bring their own perspective to read the expressions of the woman in Mueck’s oversized In bed 2005or the child perched precariously on a stack of chairs in Piccinini’s The Observer 2010,” says Cull.
