We are delighted to be hosting A BIT MUCH, the latest solo exhibition by Odessa Mahony-de Vries. Guided by instinct and intuition, Odessa’s abstract paintings and ceramics explore a visual narrative of excess, emotion and human connection.

‘A BIT MUCH’ is a comedic title that emerged from a conversation with a friend about my dating life and the common narrative of women being labelled “too much.” As a result, this show is about excess, indulgence, and taking up space unapologetically.

Paint spills off the canvas, onto plinths and sculptures, covering the gallery in colour and movement. The work is bold, playful, and at times overwhelming, it’s an invitation to revel in the mess, the joy, and the unpredictability of it all. By blurring the lines between painting and sculpture, surface and structure, I want the space to feel alive as an immersive celebration of paint and clay, all co-existing in an over-the-top display of abundance.

Sunshine Coast-based artist Odessa Mahony-de Vries has been exhibiting since 2019. Her abstract paintings and sculptures are an indulgence of colour, gesture, and movement. Odessa’s process is largely intuitive, where each mark and layer guide the next. She works instinctively, letting her body respond to the way paint behaves, discovering unexpected interactions, and embracing both control and chance.

This exhibition will run 6 – 28 May, with an opening on Saturday 10th May. Please email [email protected] for all enquiries.
