Francis Upritchard
Here Comes Everybody
The fantastical is at the heart of the Welcome Plaza of the Art Gallery of New South Wales’ new building with the arrival of Francis Upritchard’s towering figures, inspired by mythology, folklore and the surrounding Moreton Bay fig trees. Enticing visitors of all ages, Upritchard’s playful bronze beings are workers, collaborators, creators and guardians who, in the artist’s words, ‘ready your mind to be receptive to anything’.
