About Outré //
Outré Gallery challenges the conventions of the archetypal gallery. Established for nearly three decades in Melbourne, Australia, Outré features solo and group exhibitions by international and Australian artists with a focus on New Contemporary art. They showcase original artworks and limited edition prints and publish in-house under Outré Press, creating a selection of beautifully designed art books and limited edition prints in collaboration with their artists.
Outré has grown into an iconic and established gallery, known for their distinctive range of figurative artwork and curatorial aesthetic. They have had the pleasure of exhibiting with James Jean, Audrey Kawasaki, Mark Ryden, Shag, Femke Hiemstra, Ashley Wood, Stella Im Hultberg, Travis Louie, Jeremy Geddes, and Alfred Liu – amongst many other talented artists.
Outré has two locations. The original Melbourne gallery is in the bustling heart of the city, and their second gallery space is located in the inner city suburb of Fitzroy, providing a dedicated exhibition space and a rotating salon hang of print editions.
Outré has always been a proponent of making art approachable and accessible in a variety of forms, allowing it to be appreciated by individuals of all backgrounds and interests. The gallery’s aim is to continue showing established international and local artists and emerging talent to Australian shores, and to share their fervour for New Contemporary art with an ever-growing audience.
