Light Sensitive Material: Works from the Verghis Collection is a vibrant selection of photographic, light and digital media works from the private collection of Rachel Verghis, one of Australia’s youngest art collectors.

 

Curated by Richard Perram, Director of Bathurst Regional Art Gallery, the exhibition brings together 14 emerging and mid-career Australian artists whose use of light is integral to their work, presenting a fascinating snapshot of contemporary art from the past decade.

 

Artists featured in the exhibition include Shoufay Derz, Hayden Fowler, Shaun Gladwell, Newell Harry, Petrina Hicks, Jonathan Jones, David Knight, Rosemary Laing, Vanila Netto, Michael Riley, Julie Rrap and Hossein Valamanesh.
