ARIA Upper House

This series is a reflection on the role of art institutions in the display of high-value art objects and the subsequent proliferation of their value mythology. Each piece features original found imagery, film photos and studio textures by the artist, and each reproduction is uniquely hand embellished with oil paint.

Upper House is an ARIA property residential development, designed by the renowned Koichi Takada Architects. Upper House is inspired by the organic forms of the Daintree Rainforest. Located only moments away from the heart of the Southbank cultural precinct, the building’s sculptural ‘ribbons’ wind their way up the facade in reference to the roots of the Moreton Bay fig tree native to Queensland.

The Upper House permanent art collection has been thoughtfully curated by Prudence McComish, and includes a diverse collection of Australian artists who pay particular attention to capturing their natural environment.
