Opening Night tonight @nandahobbs gallery 6-8pm

“Intimate, accessible and quietly ambitious, PANEL 2026 once again celebrates the ingenuity and conviviality of our participating Nanda\Hobbs artists, and our guest artists.

Now in its third iteration, each artist has returned to a familiar challenge: the 20 × 30cm gessoed panel. Across painting, drawing, mixed media and relief, the resulting works reveal a compelling and diverse collection”

This year I will be exhibiting a selection of works from The Vault, spanning from the 90’s to now.

We’re thrilled to share that Christopher Horder has been featured in Qantas Magazine’s Travel Insider, with a beautiful profile by award-winning arts journalist Kate Hennessy.

"Horder’s process is both technical and intuitive, developed over years of working mainly outside in the initial phase, with his canvases laid on a concrete surface. While his materials are traditional – watercolour, ink and oil – the catalysts are elemental – water, sunlight, heat and time. In 2023, he began overlaying his swirls of ink and watercolour with oil paint, intensifying the contrast of light and dark. His large-scale portal-like paintings invite a sensation of falling upwards like the swoon of craning your neck in a Renaissance-era chapel to behold a vaulted ceiling covered in heavenly frescoes.” — Kate Hennessy (@katehennessywriter)
