Nike Savvas - In Conversation
About this Event
Join Nike Savvas and Bradley Hammond, Director, Orange Regional Gallery in the Gallery Theatre as they discuss the exhibition Nike Savvas: Purple Haze, and explore key themes from Savvas’ extensive practice.
The opening celebration will follow the talk. .
Nike Savvas: Purple Haze is a major new exhibition featuring previous works alongside a spectacular new iteration of Savvas’ acclaimed Atomic series.
Celebrated for her large-scale, vibrant installations that blend elements of painting, sculpture and kinetic art, Savvas’s work invites playful engagement alongside thoughtful contemplation.
Developed in partnership with the Art Gallery of New South Wales and proudly supported by TLE Electricals, the exhibition centres around Atomic: Purple Haze (2026), a vast, exploding, and atomised three-dimensional painted landscape filling an entire gallery.
Also included in the exhibition is Rally (2014), originally commissioned for the Art Gallery of New South Wales’ entrance court. In Rally, cascades of colour unfold through suspended strips that echo the flickering energy of Impressionist brushstrokes, extending painting beyond the canvas and into surrounding space.
Through vibrant colour, kinetic energy, and immersive scale, Nike Savvas: Purple Haze transforms Orange Regional Gallery into an unforgettable experience pulsing with memory, movement and connection to landscape.
Nike Savvas: Purple Haze is presented by Orange Regional Gallery in partnership with the Art Gallery of New South Wales, and with the generous support of TLE Electricals.
Nike Savvas is represented by ARC ONE Gallery, Melbourne.
