The 'neutrality' of the gallery space allows a wide range of artworks to be displayed. The art gallery as a whole does not respond to any specific artistic style, instead attempting to stand as a backdrop to bring out the character of any potential artwork. Bolder artworks would shine out against their muted environment, with their colours or subjects standing out strongly, while more delicate artworks would also be allowed to project without fear of being 'drowned out' at all.
Examples of artists whose artwork would perhaps suit the environment of the art gallery, rather than the other way around, include Kudditji Kngwarreye, whose boldly coloured but subtly textured landscapes are painted in thick swathes of colour, an abstraction of form that echoes the architecture of the gallery.
Maria Coyle's sculptures also represent an abstracted ideal of form, though her sinuous sculptures would suit the 'flow' of the gallery's floor into the courtyard, whilst also bringing a human element to the gallery to emphasise the proportions and scale.
