It is a truth universally acknowledged that necessity is the mother of invention. So, bearing in mind our instructions to stay home and stay safe, Tim Melville is pleased to present two gallery firsts – our first exclusively online exhibition and our first exhibition featuring solely works on paper.

Paper is light-weight and tactile, allowing an artist to make a rapid sketch or recording of an idea that may not materialise on canvas or linen. Artworks made on paper can also, sometimes, offer a more intimate view into an artist’s practice and afford clues to their process of making. And because they’re often less expensive, they can allow collectors to acquire work by artists who might be unaffordable in another medium.

From the looseness of Star Gossage’s watercolour portraits to the fine precision of those by Areez Katki

From Andrew Blythe’s language of obsessively repeated ’no’s and crosses to Salome Tanuvasa’s cursive ‘language of attention’ …

From Rob Gardiner’s instinctive free-form collage and crayon drawing to Jonathan Jones’ precise graphite representations of salt crystals …

From Nonggirrnga Marawili’s marks representing lightning and Yolngu cosmology to Alberto Garcia-Alvarez’s examinations of colour, proportion and philosophy …

In Paper Trail Tim Melville is proud to present a glimpse into the imaginations of eight creative minds.

For your convenience we have included prices for this exhibition on our website.

Thank you for supporting our artists.


We hope you and your loved ones are bearing up as we live through this unique and challenging time.
