Artereal artist Louise Zhang has this month been selected for inclusion in the group show, SYDNEY PAINTING NOW, which opened on Wednesday night at MOP projects and Galerie pompom.

The show, which aims to present a cross-section of current painting practice in Sydney, was separated into two distinct parts. Hosted by MOP, part one included work selected by the MOP Projects committee and volunteer team, who each selected their favourite Sydney painter, culminating in work from nine different artists.

Selected for part one, Louise Zhang's work, 'THE URGENCY OF PHWOARR' joins work from other Sydney artists Jess Bradford, Matthew Busteed, Dale Frank, Belem Lett, Genevieve Felix Reynolds, Katie Williams, Paul Williams and Meng-Yu Yan.

Part two of the exhibition is held at Gallery pompom and includes a group of 13 represented and invited artists including: Ron Adams, Kylie Banyard, Lynne Barwick, Monika Behrens, Leo Coyte, Hayley Megan French, Rochelle Haley, Mason Kimber, Nana Ohnesorge, Samuel Quinteros, Nicola Smith, Phil Aston Williams and Christine Dean.

Sydney Painting Now is on until 7 December 2014.
