Art in July: these are the exhibitions to catch across Australia this month

Winter getting you down? Slice through the general humdrum of days spent indoors and venture outside–restrictions permitting–to your local gallery. After all, there's so much to see! From the staggering works of Hilma af Klint to William Yangs revealing portraits. And if you're in Melbourne don't forget to step in for Mimi Elashiry and Lochlan Sutherlands two-day show at Backwoods Gallery.

Happy gallery-hopping! And for more information about upcoming exhibitions read on.
