John A. Rowe presents 'It Only Hurts When I Laugh', a deeply personal exhibition of paintings shaped by anxiety, humour and instinct. Drawing on a parallel career in children's book illustration, the works unfold as visual fables that transform fear into playful, symbolic narratives that invite viewers to recognise shared vulnerability, emotional honesty and connection. 'It Only Hurts When I Laugh' will open alongside 'On Show: Exploring the Light' by Canberra Art Workshop and 'Blue Mountains Portrait Journey' by Patrick Hromas.
