In the charged space between catastrophe and renewal, Afterstorm presents a landmark survey of contemporary Australian painting, edited by Charles Green and Jon Cattapan — two of the most incisive voices in the country's art-critical landscape. The volume gathers a compelling body of work that responds to crisis, transformation, and the psychological weight of the modern world, situating Australian artists within a broader, urgent global conversation about what painting can and must do in the twenty-first century. Green and Cattapan curate with a rigorous and purposeful eye, drawing connections across generations and aesthetics to argue that figurative and abstract modes are not opposites but collaborators in articulating cultural anxiety and resilience. The result is an anthology that is at once a historical document and a provocation — one that leaves the reader asking not merely what art reflects, but what it forges in the aftermath of the storm.
