On display at the Art Gallery of Ballarat from 17 May to 29 June, Conservation Status is an exhibition that highlights the fragility of the natural world by focusing on endangered and extinct species. The show features nine original hand-painted canvases, eight limited edition prints and a large-scale mural created within the gallery space. Each work portrays a different animal, from species facing imminent threat to those we’ve already lost – inviting viewers to reflect on the urgent need for conservation.
