Shapeshifting: The Art of Helen Wright

The Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery (QVMAG) and City of Launceston proudly presents Shapeshifting: The Art of Helen Wright—an exhibition celebrating one of Tasmania's most enduringly vital and visionary artists.

Spanning over four decades of creative inquiry, Shapeshifting explores Helen Wright's remarkable capacity for enduring transformation.

Working across painting, drawing, printmaking, and sculpture, Wright embodies the archetypal shapeshifter—an artist capable of moving between mediums and meanings, inhabiting different states, and slipping between boundaries both physical and metaphysical.

Helen Wright's work responds to a world marked by ecological unease and existential fragility. Recurring motifs such as vessels, birds, and ruinous landscapes exist across media - each one an allegory of contemporary life.

At once intimate and expansive, Helen Wright's art resists containment and rewards our own deeper interrogations. Shapeshifting is a testament to Wright's enduring contribution to Australian art, and to the power of art as both container for ideas and catalyst for change.
