Paul Yore ‘Souvenir’

Iconic Australian artist Paul Yore returns to Tarntanya/Adelaide with a solo exhibition, Souvenir, at Hugo Michell Gallery from May 15 to June 14, 2025. Two years in the making, Souvenir features a body of large-scale works in Paul’s signature pop style.

The exhibition builds on Paul’s practice of innovation and craftmanship across mixed media assemblage, mosaic, appliqué, and embroidery. This new body of work continues Paul’s interest in reviving and adapting decorative craft methodologies, artisanal techniques, and vernacular forms. Engaging with memory, nostalgia, and collective experience, the exhibition is described as a study in folkloric Australian images and forms, reimagining popular cultural symbols. Paul seeks to find beauty and wonderment in the familiar.

An opening event and artist talk will be held on Saturday, May 17, from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm, offering a chance to hear directly from the artist.
