About the exhibition

For Tarnanthi 2025 we are excited to present a new collection of paintings by Anmatyerr and Arrernte woman and contemporary artist Rhubee Neale.

Rhubee has been a regular artist in the Ku Arts studio at The Mill, and we are thrilled to be working with her to show this new group of paintings as part of Tarnanthi. Rhubee’s paintings are joyful and full of life, their brightly coloured narratives take us on a journey to what she refers to as ‘paradise places’. When making these paintings, Rhubee is both imaginative and reflective, recollecting moments from her life including growing up on Country with her family. She also paints dreams and imaginings, capturing on canvas some of the fleeting moments of beauty that she has experienced.

Rhubee is generous in sharing her story, which is underpinned by a deep connection to Country and Kin. She speaks about interconnectedness, care, friendship and beauty. And, she also shares about her struggles and the balance between strength and fragility, which must be honoured. Rhubee’s journey as an artist is multifaceted and not without its complexities, but the underlying message of this exhibition is about holding tightly to love.

She says ‘Fleeting Moments is more than an exhibition — it’s an invitation to pause, breathe, and reflect on the moments that define us. These works speak to the echoes of the past, the whispers of ancestry, and the weight of memory, all while celebrating the enduring connections that sustain us.’
