The 9 x 5 category is a tribute to a single exhibition held in Melbourne in 1889, which included the work of key Australian impressionist artists such as Tom Roberts, Arthur Streeton, Frederick McCubbin and Charles Conder. The artworks were painted on cigar box lids and the title of the exhibition was derived from the dimensions of those works (nine inches by five inches).

We hope you enjoy our artists’ contemporary 9 x 5 paintings.
