Art Collector: Kirtika Kain’s exhibition Corpus

by

Delhi Born, Sydney-based NAS alumna Kirtika Kain makes her commercial exhibition debut at Roslyn Oxley9.

Last year, Delhi-born, Sydney-based artist Kirtika Kain sold all of her 14 works at the National Art School Postgraduate Exhibition. This included her majestic, tar-tinged Pitch, a sizeable work that caught the eye of eminent Sydney gallerist Roslyn Oxley. Kain makes her commercial exhibition debut at Oxley’s prestigious Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery in Sydney this week in collaboration with the Art Incubator program – a spectacular accolade for any young talent.

The National Art School was saddened to hear of the recent death of artist and NAS alumnus Bruce Goold (1948-2025).

Born in Newcastle in 1948, from 1961- 65 Bruce attended Sydney Grammar School, where he studied art with ceramicist and potter Gordon McCausland. This was followed by a year at the National Art School, Newcastle. Here he experimented with various mediums and made his first linocut. He then studied at the National Art School, c. 1967-68.

Bruce was a member of the artist collective Yellow House between 1970-72. The former Clune Gallery in Kings Cross was transformed by Martin Sharp and a group of fellow artists, who painted the exterior bright yellow and covered its internal walls with murals, portraits and decoration. Artists such as Brett Whiteley, Peter Wright, Bruce Goold, Greg Weight and Peter Kingston turned the building into an artwork, while visiting bands and celebrities made it a regular fixture of the Sydney scene.

Known principally as a printmaker, Goold created coloured linocuts and woodblocks including many images of Australian flora and fauna, as well as South Pacific inspired esoteric and symbolic subjects. He held solo exhibitions in Sydney, Melbourne and internationally in London and Ireland. He received major commissions for poster, logo and interior design and worked as a designer for Mambo from 1992.

A retrospective exhibition, Bruce Goold, Artist, Designer, Printmaker, curated by Therese Kenyon, was held at Manly Art Gallery & Museum in 2008.
The National Art School extends its sympathies to Bruce’s family and many friends.
