View EventBauhinia Season, a new solo exhibition by Amelia Jajko
Art Exhibition5:30pm - 7:30pm
Join us at Redbill Studio Gallery for the opening of Bauhinia Season, a new solo exhibition by Amelia Jajko. Friday 31st July from 5.30pm - 7.30pm. RSVP by email for opening night. Bauhinia Season contemplates the seasons of our lives that rarely announce themselves while we are living them, yet later reveal themselves as defining chapters of our lives. Through paintings of everyday rituals, familiar places and the gentle rhythms of life in the tropics, the exhibition considers what it is that defines a season of life. These works linger in the quiet accumulation of ordinary experience: shared meals, afternoons in the garden, time spent in the water, and the familiar routines that quietly shape us. Rooted in close observation, the paintings invite viewers to reflect on how meaning gathers over time, recognising that today's ordinary moments may one day become the memories that define a chapter of our lives. The exhibition runs 31st July - 14th August 2026, with all works available to view in the gallery and online. Open Monday - Saturday, 10:30am - 2pm.
