Wyndham Art Gallery has reopened its doors with a major exhibition honouring the late Gunditjmara, Yorta Yorta and Barkindji artist Josh Muir (1991–2022).

Titled 'JXSH MVIR: Forever I Live,' the retrospective showcases Muir's work across painting, digital prints, neon, and augmented reality.

It takes its name from Muir's 2015 self-portrait 'Forever I Live,' which shows the artist wearing a Basquiat-style crown with flowers, diamonds and bold patterns surrounding him.

The work has become a symbol of his ongoing legacy, representing how Muir's art continues to speak following his death.

Muir was born and raised on Wadawurrung Country in Ballarat, Victoria.

His connection with Koorie Heritage Trust (KHT) began in 2013 through the group exhibition 'The Ballarat Four.'

A year later, he won the Creative Victoria Excellence Award at the Koorie Art Show and went on to exhibit with KHT multiple times throughout his career.

Known for his use of colour and digital media, Muir developed a distinct visual style that merged street art influences, pop culture references and personal storytelling.

His work often explored identity, cultural continuity and mental health, and he embraced digital production methods as a way to connect with broader audiences.

The exhibition has been co-curated by Muir's mother Justine Berg, his partner Shanaya Sheridan, and the KHT curatorial team.

It was first presented by KHT in 2024 and is now touring galleries across Victoria.

Wyndham Art Gallery forms part of the Wyndham Cultural Centre, which has recently reopened after refurbishment.

The gallery is located at 177 Watton Street in Werribee and is open from 10am to 4pm on weekdays and 10am to 3pm on weekends.

JXSH MVIR: Forever I Live is open to the public until Sunday 28 September 2025.
