Mela Cooke 2026

9 October - 8 November 2026

Opening Night Friday 9 October 6-8pm

We are delighted to present an upcoming exhibition of works by Australian sculptor Mela Cooke. Working predominantly in bronze, Mela creates finely detailed figures that explore the human form, movement and character. Her background as a physiotherapist informs her understanding of anatomy and gesture, while her process begins in clay, allowing her to capture subtle detail and expression.

The exhibition features works from Mela’s recent Women in Action series, celebrating sportswomen through dynamic studies of movement and strength. Inspired by her lifelong passion for swimming, these sculptures reflect Mela’s interest in capturing not only the physical form, but the individual character and essence of each subject.
