Gabi Cirocco - Studies of Presence

A exhibition by Adelaide artist Gabi Cirocco, featuring a series of works from her studio practice. The exhibition brings together oil paintings, drawings, watercolours, and sculptural pieces that each explore moments of stillness, memory, and human connection. Her practice draws on her Australian and Italian heritage, weaving together themes of cultural identity. In this body of work, she explores the presence of loss and life as integral parts of the human experience via a repeated motif of expressions of human emotion in portraiture. The works aim to reflect an intimate dialogue between materiality, memory, and mindfulness, capturing the quiet gestures that connect us to one another and to our inner worlds.
