Post Space, Exeter presents Kaloskagathos an exhibition bringing together works by contemporary Australian artists who explore, embrace or challenge classical artistic traditions. Drawing inspiration from renowned works of literature, history, mythology and cultural traditions to explore the themes of feminism, motherhood, domesticity and the goddess, these artists works, in varying ways, embody the power and majesty of female sexuality whilst subverting the classical idea that promoted the supremacy of the male form. 

Featuring Jedda Daisy Culley, Louisa Chircop, Belynda Henry, Solomon Kammer, Sophy Reynolds, Mirra Whale and Hayley West and spanning different materials and formats - painting, sculpture, installation, photography and drawing - these artists come together looking at the relics of the enduring preoccupation of art with the human form as well as contemporary art’s ongoing relationship with the classical past.
