Subversion, some say it is a dirty word, and some believe it is an important value in the shaping and direction of society. Subversive actions draw negative media responses but ultimately are used to defend the environment or fight for human rights. This exhibition was a group show by artists of the northern Rivers exploring the theme 'Subversion' with an exhibition of outstanding subversive art.As it was the Gallery's 18th Birthday the Serpentine Community Gallery team had put together a night of sensational performances to celebrate.

Bound by Opposites by Mim O’Grady, aluminium and paper, 77x94cm
"Bound by Opposites" explores the balance between strength and fragility, permanence and impermanence.
Using aluminium and paper, this artwork challenges traditional notions of resilience and delicacy. The aluminium, rigid and industrial, contrasts sharply with the softness and vulnerability of the paper, yet both materials come together to create a cohesive whole.
This invites viewers to reconsider their perceptions of what is strong or weak, enduring or fleeting.
In the context of the "Subversion” exhibition, this piece challenges us to see beyond opposites, recognising that strength can be found in fragility, and stability can exist within transience

Dallas Rae, an emerging artist from regional New South Wales, weaves compelling narratives through her art, using a diverse array of materials and techniques.

Through her evocative works, she aims to provoke dialogue about the often-unsettling consequences of Australian colonization on the environment.

R.G.B by Ziggy love, acrylic on board, 30x39cm
“The Notorious R.B.G.” was a force to be reckoned with. Ruth Bader Ginsberg was Supreme Court Justice in the United States for 17 years where she stood strongly against gender discrimination.
One of her famous quotes is “Fight for the things that you care about. But do it in a way that will lead others to join you.”
Ziggy love is a mixed media artist based in the Northern Rivers of New South Wales, creating art to explore powerful themes of sexuality, war, feminism, identity and body language.
“For me, it’s a journey of creative expressions, letting go and trusting my intuition as I find my own unique voice. I am passionate about creating thought-provoking work that speaks to an audience, inviting them to look deeper and push boundaries. I use an array of mediums to bring my ideas to life. From painting to sculpting, it’s a chance to hone my craft whilst also diving into new and exciting territories.”
