While painters eX de Medici and Michael Zavros share a fanatical attention to detail, these two artists could not be any more different when it comes to what they paint.
It is an interesting choice, then, to pair major solo exhibitions from each of them as a dual-ticket winter season. Ahead of this weekend’s opening at the Queensland Art Gallery and Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane (QAGOMA), ArtsHub speaks with Head of Australian Art, QAGOMA, Peter McKay (who has curated Michael Zavros: The Favourite, while Samantha Littley, Curator Australian Art, QAGOMA, has curated eX de Medici: Beautiful Wickedness) to get a handle on just how these two artists dovetail into a conversation for our times.
