Romulus Folio is proud to present Flights of Love, a collaborative exploration between our ongoing resident artist Angelina Mirabito and a leading Australian luxury interior designer, bespoke furniture maker and artist, Mark Alexander. This project embodies the gallery’s commitment to fostering bold, transformative, and dialogue-driven art at the intersection of disciplines.

Romulus Folio Gallery is pleased to present Transitions: Metamorphosis of the Moment, a cross-media exhibition exploring the spaces between movement, stillness, and transformation. Opening on 5 December 2025 and running through 25 January 2026, this exhibition brings together the work of Gerard Russo, Fiona Johnston, and Andrea Vargas under the curatorial guidance of Angelina Mirabito.

Artist Andrea Vargas, a multidisciplinary Melbourne-based practitioner, recently led a ceramic jewellery workshop at Romulus Folio Gallery. The session demonstrated Andrea’s thoughtful guidance, the inclusive environment of the workshop, and how participants were able to engage with both technical skill and creative exploration.

For the current edition of OBSERVER, we feature Anita Mirabito’s Through the Weave(2025), a compelling site-specific installation that recontextualises the potential of fibre art within an architectural framework.

OBSERVER opened with a profound sense of shared attention, a gathering shaped as much by conversations, gestures, and mutual recognition as by the artworks themselves. The exhibition brings together seven artists whose practices explore perception as an active exchange: the movement between seeing and being seen, witnessing and being witnessed, translating and being translated.

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.

In OBSERVER, artist Florence Wang presents three tender oil landscapes: Home Is Where the Light Is (2025), Corner of Brunswick West (2025), and Bottle-O (2025). Each work offers a gentle reimagining of suburban Melbourne through patient observation and emotional nuance.

Romulus Folio Gallery is excited to present a hands-on, imaginative workshop for children, combining creativity, reflection, and community engagement.

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.

In OBSERVER, artist Keith Ross presents three studies that probe the emotional and perceptual terrain of everyday life, including Taking a Punt on a Punt (2024) and From the Bottom of My Heart. Thank You. I Had No Idea Where I Was. (2024). Each work captures a moment drawn from ordinary movement or quiet pause: a figure mid-stride in an unremarkable street, a lone individual beside a parked car while a magpie lifts into the air. These scenes, while familiar, carry an undercurrent of vulnerability and introspection.

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.
