News & Press
Born in Agropoli Italy, Giocondo creates deeply emotive and engaging paintings which tend to capture a subject’s fleeting form whilst exploring the human condition juxtaposed with visual plays on the sublime and grotesque. The scenes and subjects are dramatised through Giocondo’s theatrical lighting and coloration which references the Old Masters of the Renaissance. Time is frozen but his works are never static. In his studio, characters become ghosts.
The flabby muscle, the distorted faces, annihilation and the nihilist’s indifference towards the viewer show how a shape can autonomously evoke another feeling. Power or tension. Fear or elation. Giocondo carves into the figures in a never-ending search for the final form. Giocondo’s selected medium oils and process of painting provides the opportunity for reflection and to see the implications of each shape and colour forming within the work.
The audience becomes a spectator to a private moment. Our voyeuristic tendencies and morbid curiosities are aroused by Giocondo’s uncanny subjects and what may be deemed by some as his antiquated painting style.

"These works are reminiscent of a bygone era. When we stayed in the sun all day, lathering our bodies with baby oil and ate lemonade icy poles. The car would be overloaded with kids and our legs would stick to the vinyl seat because of the heat. You would want to have a seat by the window so you could roll it down to feel the breeze against your skin. These works show an innocent and carefree time and place" - ELISE JUDD

'Fragmented Meditation 407X' - 61 x 61cm acrylic on canvas by J VALENZUELA DIDI "The shapes are intended to pulsate between two and three dimensions, at once holding a structural form and serenely floating. Each work serves as a silent mantra, an ordered map of the intangible.” – J Valenzuela Didi #colourblock

EDGAR SCHILTER is a Sydney based artist. Edgar completed a Fine Arts degree at the College of Fine Arts Sydney in 2008. His subjects of interest are decidedly honest, with recurrent themes of architecture, mechanics, technology and science. His work focuses on the methodical and meditative reproduction of detail in the hopelessly untrendy modern tradition of artisanry. His work turns the lens over the technical and structural and blends it with the patterning and textural elements often found in nature.

'Vermilion Blues #2' - edition 2 of 10- 21 x 29cm image, 26 x 35cm framed archival print on photographic paper with white matte board and black frame $ 450.00. Custom sizes and unframed editions also available. "The recent years have been a time of sudden violence, of irruption. Of heat, fires, rain, and flooding of unprecedented intensity. We have been locked down, and in. And as more and more news of gendered violence emerged, a deluge of truth irrupted. Predictably, these events created space and cause to think and reflect. Through this time I looked back on the decades I believed the narratives that society created about me, and I struggled to reconcile my intellectual understanding of coercive control with the feelings of shame and guilt associated with my own experiences. For too long, people and systems have made me feel that I deserved to be treated poorly because I am a woman. Made me accept commentary on my appearance, my behavior, my anger. Of course, the same systems and people responsible for this normative imposition are the architects of the catastrophic demise of our environment. These images capture an upwelling of compassion for myself, and the discovery of power in my rage”. – Katherine Williams

DEAN REILLY - Cassowary 122 x 92cm canvas, 125 x 94cm x 5cm framed acrylic on cotton canvas with black shadow box frame “I painted theses birds as they are connected to my history via growing up in North Queensland. I was always moved by their distinctive colouring and how they contrasted with the natural environment. To see these birds in the wild is one of the many moments I am grateful for in my life. The cassowary Image was sent to me by my cousin as it is seasonal visitor to his place at the Eubenangee wetlands near my childhood home town” – Dean Reilly Keep and eye out for more exciting works by Dean for his Solo Exhibition in September !

“My Urban Fragments are a series of geometric arrangements that I create as meditative constructs. The shapes are intended to pulsate between two and three dimensions, at once holding a structural form and serenely floating. Each work serves as a silent mantra, an ordered map of the intangible.” – J Valenzuela Didi 'Fragmented Meditation 203X' - 61 x 61cm, acrylic on canvas $ 1,350.00 with free packing and shipping Australia wide.

We are so excited to welcome to the tjg artist family LEONIE McINTOSH !!! Leonie lives and creates her art on the beautiful coast of Northern NSW, surrounded by beaches on one side and rolling hills on the other. After doing a short course in oils as a teenager, Leonie was hooked and has painted on and off over the last 25 years. Between raising a family and becoming a scientist she has more recently dedicated most of her time to the practice of painting. Leonie’s style is realistic and more recently makes a lean towards pop art, which has become her staple while keeping the realistic style.
