Back and Dead instead provides insight into contemporary painting in Melbourne in 2017 and asks audiences to make up their own mind about the state of the medium. Featuring work from Ajay Jenn

I'm proud to share with you that I have a couple of pieces in the first ever Modern Times group show, 'Home'.
