A MURRIALITY is a major survey of Waanyi and resident artist Gordon Hookey, showcasing more than three decades of art that blends storytelling, humour and sharp observation.

From towering paintings filled with native animals and playful text, to mobile placards perched on traffic cones, this vibrant exhibition is full of colour, character, and insight into contemporary life in Australia.

Both playful and powerful, Hookey’s art explores identity, history, and culture - always with a style that’s unmistakably his.

Packed with personality and purpose, his work invites us to look closer, think deeper, and imagine what’s possible.

Their works sit alongside those of emerging voices and artists connected to The Torch program, creating a diverse and powerful conversation through visual storytelling.

The Essence Of Liveability

Nestled along the banks of the Brisbane River, Yeronga is one of the most in-demand suburbs in Brisbane. A unique place that captures the very essence of liveability – and abundance of green space and parks, schools, and hospitals.

Quick access to main roads and a wide offering of public transport along with the proximity to Brisbane City makes this a highly interconnected suburb. Yeronga is also within close proximity to two major hospitals and two Universities making it a popular suburb for students and hospital workers. A suburb whose face is changing as it becomes more urban and less suburban – with more cafes, restaurants and amenities becoming available in response to locals wanting the trappings that come with a modern lifestyle.

The Paint Factory site is ready to be a part of the vibrant, urban lifestyle that is Yeronga, maintaining the sensitivity to all the things that make Yeronga liveable.

With your support, we can work together to make this vision a reality.
