Ann Debono’s work Starview II has been chosen as the frontispiece for HEAT Magazine’s latest edition (Series 3 Number 7). Published since 1996, the magazine (Giramondo Press) is a distinguished Australian literary journal renowned for its dedication to literary quality, and its commitment to publishing innovative and imaginative poetry, fiction, essays and the hybrid forms.
Ann Debono’s Starview was on show at Sutton Gallery in October 2024, wherein the artist produced a suite of five monochrome paintings citing her extensive photographic study of the construction of the Westgate Bypass Flyover in Naarm/Melbourne.
Ann Debono has curated the exhibition Gardener’s Ellipse at CAVES in Naarm/Melbourne, featuring new paintings by Debono, Annika Koops and Daichi Tagaki. The exhibition employs the gardener’s method of tracing an ellipse in the soil to demarcate and plot unformed earth as a conceptual point of departure that elucidates and characterises three painter’s practices, as that which oscillates between poles of reality and idealism, figuration and abstraction.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a zine and essay by Debono which touches on gardens, geometry, movies and painting.
