A Meditative Palette Knife Workshop at Romulus Folio

Romulus Folio recently presented The Colour of Love, a guided palette knife painting workshop facilitated by artist and curator, Angelina Mirabito. The session invited participants into a structured meditation exploring four dimensions of love: self-love, shared love, love of life, and the experience of being loved. Each reflection was translated into colour and carried onto canvas through gesture, pressure, and texture, allowing internal states to take visual form.

Romulus Folio Gallery is pleased to present Prototypes: Material Inquiry and the Development of Form, an exhibition featuring Kasia Dudkiewicz, Lucia Medina, and Arabella Strachan. Curated by Dr. Angelina Mirabito, the exhibition frames the prototype as a moment of clarity within an unfolding trajectory, showcasing works that stand as resolved forms while acting as catalysts for future artistic evolution.

Fusion Exhibition 4–28 March 2026 at Romulus Folio Gallery

From 4–28 March 2026, Romulus Folio Gallery is honoured to present Fusion, our March exhibition centred on the work of highly regarded Australian luxury interior designer, artist and master craftsman Mark Alexander.

Prototypes presents works that are fully realised; alive with a glimpse into the unfolding of contemporary artistic ideas. The exhibition explores the tension between the present and the future, revealing how each artwork exists as a completed form and as a catalyst for what is yet to come.

As part of Romulus Folio Gallery’s holiday program, we recently hosted a Kids Friendship Bracelets Workshop that transformed the gallery into a space of laughter, movement and shared making. The afternoon unfolded with colour, conversation and even some impromptu dancing, as the children brought their own rhythm and energy into the space, including teaching us the latest SpongeBob song currently trending.

As part of Romulus Folio Gallery’s holiday program, Play, Press and Build: Sensory Colour Exploration invited children aged 2.5 to 7 into the gallery for a tactile, hands-on workshop focused on colour, shape, and collaborative making. Working with primary colours alongside green, children explored play dough through touch, pressure, and construction, engaging their senses while building imaginative scenes together.

At Romulus Folio, the gallery functions as an active environment where material action, emotional awareness, and perception converge. This approach shaped Reset, Renew, Create, a palette knife painting workshop facilitated by artist and PhD researcher Angelina Mirabito.

As part of Romulus Folio Gallery’s holiday program, our Kids Finger Painting Workshop invited young participants into the gallery for an afternoon of colour, movement and tactile exploration. Children aged 2.5-7 worked with paint through direct touch, using their hands to explore texture, gesture and mark making in an open, supportive environment.

As part of Romulus Folio Gallery’s holiday program, Pour and Play: Colour in Motion invited participants of all ages into the gallery for an afternoon of shared making, movement and experimentation. Using fluid paint and guided pouring techniques, children and families explored how colour behaves when released, layered and allowed to move freely across the surface.

Romulus Folio Gallery invites you to the launch of Romulus Salon, an interdisciplinary gathering for artists and creative practitioners across disciplines.

In the current group exhibition Transitions at Romulus Folio Gallery, artist Keith Ross presents a series of pencil on card works that explore emotional truth through expressive figuration.

Chilean-born, Melbourne-based multidisciplinary artist Andrea Vargas presents works from her Water series in Transitions at Romulus Folio Gallery. Her practice, which spans sculpture, photography, and ceramics, is grounded in material sensitivity, memory, and elemental rhythm.

Gerard Russo’s Intervalle

Presented by Romulus Folio Gallery

Intervalle is a body of original charcoal drawings by Gerard Russo that approaches movement as a temporal condition that resists aresolved image. Across the series, gesture unfolds through duration, suspension, and repetition. Each work holds a moment at the threshold of emergence, where motion is evoked and movement sensed as happening.

Artist Fiona Johnston features four materially rich works in Transitions at Romulus Folio Gallery, where surface, pigment, and texture carry the weight of time and process.

As the year draws to a close, we are filled with gratitude for every visitor, maker, collaborator, and supporter who walked through our doors, pulled up a seat in a workshop, joined a conversation, or encountered art through fresh eyes with us in 2025.

Post-Opening Reflection, Romulus Folio Gallery. Transitions opened at Romulus Folio Gallery as an exhibition concerned not with duration, process, and states of becoming.

Romulus Folio is delighted to announce that Lucia Medina, an Argentine‑Australian artist based in Melbourne, will feature in the forthcoming Prototypes group exhibition, February 6 -1 March 2026. Her sculptural practice explores the boundaries between memory, gesture, and materiality, reflecting deeply on process, form, and the sensory presence of art.

Romulus Folio is thrilled to announce that Kasia Dudkiewicz will feature in our forthcoming Prototypes group exhibition, launching 6 February 2026. Kasia, a fibre artist based in the Macedon Ranges, brings a deeply personal yet universally resonant approach to sculptural textile work, exploring texture, tension, and the emotional resonance of material.

Romulus Folio presents Transitions, an exhibition exploring change as a continuous state of being, a "lived experience".

Romulus Folio began as an instinct rather than a gallery. A need to make art, to be inside art, to live within spaces shaped by colour, texture, and the emotional intelligence of material. I never set out to build a public program. I set out to make work. But over time I realised the space itself was becoming a work of art.
