Things I've Left Behind

Solo Exhibition

by David Lupton

In July 2023, David experienced a major turning point that profoundly changed the trajectory of his life and work. From that deeply personal and vulnerable space, an exhibition “Beyond All Things” emerged.

Seven of the black and white works in this show are from that show.

This series Beyond All Things is his first body of personal work post-surgery. Shot in black and white using multiple exposures, it looks beyond the visible world—into the cosmic, the mysterious, the space between life and death. The photographs in the exhibition share stories of pain and peace, monsters and miracles, mortality and wonder. David explains, “it’s about being alive… sort of.”

The remaining seven images are from his new work in Melbourne and surrounds, they are from a near complete project on “Time,” exploring the visible to make the near invisible nature of time visible. Its a follow up body of work to “Beyond all Things” and part of the journey of working through some of the issues around the near death and life experiences of the past three years.

Host Your Own Photography Exhibition at Loop

If showing your work feels out of reach – too expensive, not “ready”, not important enough – this is your sign to rethink that story.

Loop exhibitions exist to create opportunity. For photographers at any stage. First show or fifteenth. Solo or group. If you’ve got work you’re proud of, it deserves more than a scroll and a like.

Your exhibition includes a Friday night opening (6–8pm), your photographs on the wall for a full month, and a space filled with people who actually want to be there. Friends, family, curious strangers – real conversations, real reactions, in real time.

This is about printing your work. Framing it. Standing in the room while someone connects with an image you made.

Exhibitions are $200 + 20% commission on sales.
Loop Members host exhibitions for free, paying commission only on sales processed through Loop.

For Loop Members: A $100 deposit secures your exhibition date. Use it toward printing, framing, or even a cheeky opening night drink — or have it returned to you after your show. Easy, flexible, and all about making your exhibition happen.

There are limited months available but unlimited reasons to step up.

Your work belongs on a wall.
