TIA ADOBERG // The Slipping World

22 August — 10 October 2026

The Slipping World explores release, resilience and the ways we navigate an increasingly chaotic world.

In recent years, more than ever, we have had to figure out how to process and discharge uncertainty, grief, joy and the demands of survival.

Inspired by the energy of late nights, music, hospo culture and our social landscapes, this series of oil paintings captures fleeting moments of youth, movement and connection emerging from darkness.

Referencing Shakespeare’s line, “Let the world slip; we shall never be younger”, the works celebrate our instinct to keep dancing, gathering, and finding sound and light through turbulent times.

Let the world slip; we shall never be younger"
Taming of the Shrew - William Shakespeare.

Of the North, For the North

We work to support artists achieve their aspirations. Artists set their prices and we add a standard service and marketing commission - this supports our not-for-profit programs and allows us to continually turn over the highest-quality artistic products.

Most artworks are one-offs and completely original in the iconic style of that artist; with the exception of intaglio and relief prints, which the organisation is renowned for. Check out our selection of limited-edition fine art printmaking.

Over 95% of the artists we support are from North Queensland. We work with both independent artists and those represented by commercial dealers and art centres.
