SUMMARY:Packsaddle Floor Talk: In Conversation with Rew Hanks
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an artist talk with internationally acclaimed printmaker\, Rew Hanks! \nRew will be ringing the bell for NERAM’s annual Packsaddle fundraising exhibition and will then be joining the excitement over the weekend to discuss his work and answer audience questions about his process\, views on contemporary artmaking in Australia and internationally\, and plenty more. \nEvent Details\nDate: Sat 24th October 2026\nTime: 10:30am-11:30am\nCost: FREE \n\nAbout Rew Hanks\nRew Hanks has a Master of Fine Arts from the College of Fine Arts\, University of Sydney and is a nationally and internationally renowned artist. \nHanks has been awarded a huge number of prizes across the world\, including the Megalo International Print Prize (2020)\, Triennale Print Prize in the 4th Bangkok Triennale International Print and Drawing\, Bangkok\, Thailand (2015)\, First Prize in the 9th Kochi International Triennial Exhibition of Prints\, Kochi\, Japan (2014)\, First Prize in the IV International Print Exhibition\, Istanbul\, Turkey (2011) and Grand Prize in the 8th Bharat Bhavan International Biennial of Print-Art\, Bhopal\, India (2008). \nSince the 1990s\, Hanks has been researching and contending with established versions of Australian history – both ‘official’ and in popular lore. His labour-intensive technique has been deployed to produce highly detailed linocut prints which irreverently question some of our enduring national myths. Hanks reinterprets Australia’s colonial history with a satiric eye\, layering his artworks with loaded symbolism. \n\nAbout Packsaddle\nPacksaddle is an annual art exhibition that has been raising funds for the New England Regional Art Museum since 1985. Each year the Packsaddle Exhibition presents a diverse range of paintings\, original prints and sculpture by leading Australian artists\, providing local collectors and art lovers the opportunity to purchase great artworks to start or build their own collections\, while also supporting NERAM. \n\nImage : Photo of Rew Hanks \n\n \n
