Highlighting the artist’s 20-year career, The Space Between Us brings together more than 60 sculptures and works on paper from public and private collections that reveal Austin’s abiding delight in pattern and perception.

Lincoln Austin: The Space Between Us

Austin’s artistic practice is driven by his feeling for materials, his interest in perception and optical effects, and his desire to activate space.

According to the exhibition's Curator Samantha Littley, it was an honour to curate the exhibition as the process provided a chance to reflect on, and chart, the evolution of Austin’s practice.

Through artworks of varied scale, from delicate miniature assemblages to expansive installations, the artist’s work playfully captivates the viewer in an immersive experience of colour, design and whimsy.

"Lincoln’s work is inherently beautiful, impeccably made and fundamentally thought provoking. Beyond an immediate response to the visual stimuli present in the artworks, there’s a desire to figure out how they achieve their mesmerising effects”, Littley said. "Audiences can expect to be intrigued and enthralled.”
