4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art is an initiative of the Asian Australian Artists’ Association (4A), a non-profit organisation established in 1996 to present and promote the work of Asian and Asian-Australian artists. This organisation was established by a group of artists who were keen to address the cultural contribution of Asian migration to Australia and to develop Asian and Australian cultural relations.

4A Edition

The latest work, by Jae Hoon Lee, is quite different to last year's works. First, it's printed on photographic paper. Second, the theme matter and style of the work borders on "fantasy". As explained the accompanying blurb... I recently re-subscribed to the 4A "Edition" Series, and picked up the first work of this year's series, … Continue reading 4A Edition

Cola Project @ 4a Gallery

The first thing you notice as you enter the gallery is a large mound of coal on the building's first floor. And then you smell the coal, and that's what prepares you for the exhibition upstairs. As you walk around the exhibition, the next thing you notice are buckets and tools covered in sticky, black, … Continue reading Cola Project @ 4a Gallery

One of the best things I've done this year is subscribe to the Edition Series of Sydney's 4A Gallery. 4A is a gallery which specialises in Asian art, both art by artists from Asia, as well as artists from Australia with an Asian background. I've been to a far number of their exhibitions and they're … Continue reading 4A Members

Shen Saomin exhibition at Sydney’s 4A Gallery

"Oh my goodness, there's a naked man in the corner", I noted to my friend Kate as we entered the new Shen Saomin exhibition at Sydney's 4A Gallery. I'm not sure if he'll be there all the time, or was just there for the opening night. But, there he was, a naked man, seated in … Continue reading Shen Saomin exhibition at Sydney’s 4A Gallery

New Art Work

There's something very exciting about getting one of those "Australia Post Cards" in your letterbox, isn't there? Sometimes you know what's arrived at the post office, other times you don't. This morning, as I went to the post office, it was a combination of both. I was pretty sure it was an artwork from 4A … Continue reading New Art Work

Edge of Elsewhere

I'd highly recommend an exhibition Kate and I attended the opening of tonight, at Sydney's 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art. It's a gallery space which mostly features work by Australian artists who have an Asian cultural background, but often in collaboration with people from other cultural backgrounds. As you enter the downstairs part of … Continue reading Edge of Elsewhere

My beautiful hometown, Lismore has suffered the worst flood in recorded history. Many say the devastation is more akin to a cyclone or a tsunami. This is a series of posts about what happened to my family and to my town. I’ll keep adding to this as the recovery/rebuilding occurs. https://jamesobrien.id.au/2022-lismore-flood/
