Opening Night
“This body of work explores the space between fracture and restoration, the quiet tension between what wounds us and what begins to repair.”
Studio 8 Currumbin is proud to present Between Wound & Repair, a new solo exhibition by abstract expressionist artist Jo Kaiser, running 2nd – 8th September 2026.
In this body of work, Jo Kaiser explores the emotions, experiences and fractures we often carry quietly — the things we hide, suppress or tuck away. Working intuitively with oil, mixed media and hand stitching, she allows each painting to evolve through feeling, layering and response. The stitching becomes a physical expression of both fracture and repair, reflecting the exhibition's central themes of connection and restoration.
A defining element of the show is its invitation for the viewer to participate. The artworks are deliberately left untitled and unexplained, allowing each person to interpret what they see through their own experience. Visitors are encouraged to write a thought, feeling, memory or response and display it alongside the artwork — creating an evolving collection of shared interpretations throughout the exhibition. In this way, the show becomes more than a collection of paintings; it becomes a conversation between artist, artwork and audience.
Join us for the opening night to view this striking and interactive show.
