Australian Print Workshop is honoured to present this exceptional new suite of original prints by Danie Mellor, one of Australia’s most influential contemporary artists.

This compelling series of innovative, immersive and exquisitely layered duotone photo-lithographs and photo-polymer intaglios have been developed in collaboration with APW printers, based on Danie's iconic infrared photographic imagery.

Danie Mellor currently lives in Bowral, New South Wales. Born in Mackay, North Queensland, his maternal ancestry is Aboriginal with Scottish and Irish settler ancestry from the Atherton Tablelands and Cairns region. His father's family emigrated to Australia from California in the early 1900s.

Danie's multidisciplinary research and practice explore intersections between contemporary and historic culture, and the legacies of cultural memory and knowledge.

Danie Mellor has exhibited extensively in Australia and internationally including a major solo exhibition - marru | the unseen visible – at QAGOMA in 2025; Magic Object at the Adelaide Biennial (2016); and Narratives at Tolarno Galleries (2023). International exhibitions include Rêver dans le rêve des autres at Fondation Opale in Switzerland (2023), Primordial at the National Museum of Scotland (2014), and Sakahàn at the National Gallery of Canada (2013).

Mellor’s work is held in prestigious collections throughout Australia and overseas including the National Gallery of Australia, National Gallery of Victoria, Museum of Contemporary Art, Queensland Art Gallery/Gallery of Modern Art, The British Museum, National Gallery of Canada and the National Museums of Scotland.
