Minimal Reductive is part of a larger series of Minimal exhibitions initiated by JAHM Director Charles Justin, planned for 2025 – including exhibitions at the Justin Art House Museum and Charles Nodrum Gallery. This series emphasises the multifaceted interpretations of minimalism across different contexts.

At Five Walls Gallery, investigates the enduring legacy of Minimalism and Post-Minimalism in painting, photography, and sculpture. Bringing together twelve contemporary artists from Australia, China, Germany, and Japan, the exhibition explores reductive art through diverse material and conceptual approaches. The participating artists transcend reductivism as a purely formal approach, embracing it as a fluid, dynamic process that intertwines restraint with experimentation. Their works open pathways for dialogue, examining reduction not as an endpoint but as a means of exploring perception, color, form, space, and time. Through this process, the exhibition expands the discourse around minimalism and reductivism, reaffirming their relevance and adaptability in contemporary art.

Opening event: Friday 7 March, 6-9pm
