The Arrangements: assembling nature

With Khai Liew / Samstag Museum of Art

Please note: This event has been postponed.
Two leading South Australian artists join forces for this masterful exhibition at Samstag Museum of Art.
Fastidiously intricate, whimsical and often surprising, Bruce Nuske’s ceramics practice is lovingly steeped in the history of the decorative arts – from Chinoiserie to Japanese ceramics, Wedgewood to the Arts and Craft movement – and draws on a rich array of botanical references. Initiated during the pandemic, the works in this exhibition find the erudite Nuske in a contemplative mood, considering the ritual of a cup of tea.
Responding to Nuske’s playful and highly decorative sensibility is renowned furniture designer Khai Liew, bringing his own singular and refined approach to creating a captivating gallery experience.
