Knocking From Below
Samuel O’Malley
23 October – 9 November

At the Sound of the Gun, 2025, Oil paint on canvas, 60x60cm

Samuel O’Malley returns to Brunswick Street Gallery with Knocking From Below, a new series exploring the quiet pressures and hidden tensions beneath daily life. While his earlier works looked to crowded bodies, political clashes and scenes of work, these paintings turn inward, finding a softer but still an insistent kind of disturbance

Please join us for a drink to celebrate the opening of Knocking From Below on Friday 24 October (6–8PM)

Brunswick Street Gallery acknowledges that these exhibitions are held on what always was and always will be the land of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation.

We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging, as well as to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the wider Naarm community and beyond.
