Romulus Folio is proud to announce significant progress on a compelling new documentary project, currently titled Living Canvas. This film offers an intimate exploration of the interdisciplinary contemporary art practice of our artist-in-residence, Angelina Mirabito, tracing the emotional, intellectual, and tactile realities that shape her work.

Curatorial Statement

Observer examines the relational act of seeing, exploring how attention and perception shape our experience of the world. Guided by the Anima, the inward, reflective aspect of consciousness attuned to subtlety, feeling, and intuitive awareness, the exhibition foregrounds the interplay between observer and observed, revealing the quiet, nuanced rhythms of perception.

Romulus Folio Gallery is delighted to welcome Melbourne-based artist Ellen Jury whose practice exemplifies the gallery’s commitment to artists whose work interrogates perception, emotion, and the poetic resonance of everyday life.

Romulus Folio is a gallery dedicated to exploring the intersection of contemporary art, design, and myth. Each exhibition is carefully curated to engage with the space, inviting audiences to consider how form, material, and narrative intersect. Works are presented in dialogue with one another and the gallery environment, encouraging reflection on both personal and cultural stories embedded in each piece.

Romulus Folio Gallery is delighted to welcome back Melbourne-based artist Fiona Johnston for her second exhibition with us. We first connected with Fiona during Melbourne Design Week 2025 and in September, featured her work in our Echoes group exhibition.

Romulus Folio is delighted to welcome Andrea Vargas, a multidisciplinary Latin American artist based in Melbourne.

Some artists teach us how to see again. Gerard Russo is one of them, a Melbourne-based artist whose finely observed drawings transform quiet attention into an act of presence.

From 7th – 30th of November, Romulus Folio Gallery presents Observer, a collective exhibition that turns the gaze inward and outward at once.

In Arabella Strachan’s textile and mixed-media works, stillness is structure. Using tufted yarn, timber, and found surfaces, she builds quiet topographies that invite the viewer to trace the rhythms of breath, pattern, and place.

Some forms of art begin not with sight, but with the hand. Melbourne based artist, Andrea Vargas, invites us to join her ceramic charms workshop, to explore touch as a way of seeing, a means of translating memory, intimacy, and material into form.

The opening of ECHOES Group Exhibition at Romulus Folio Gallery on Friday evening marked another milestone in our curatorial program dedicated to fostering dialogue between emerging and mid-career artists whose practices explore emotion, texture, and transformation.

Join us for an afternoon with artist Lynda Sterns at Romulus Folio Gallery on Saturday, 18 October 2025, 3:00–4:00 PM, for an engaging conversation about her creative journey, artistic evolution, and the inspirations that shape her evocative body of work.

A quiet intensity meets patient observation.

Romulus Folio Gallery was delighted to host an evening gathering for creatives connected to Fishermans Bend.

It was a true pleasure to host Reconnecting to Roots at the Romulus Folio Gallery. Guided by host Katheryn Farrell, the group was led through story and song that opened a pathway to connect with our ancestral roots. Her voice and presence created a space of reflection, depth, and gentle discovery.
