“Spending a weekend catching ferries from Circular Quay and exploring various destinations, watching the huge passenger ships and tugs, photographing recreational vessels making waves as they motor past, is an absolute delight” – Megan Barrass.

In the creation of ‘Ambedo’, Simone Read’s latest body of work, the identifiable hallmarks are embodied with a notable evolution of her practice. This is evident in the incorporation of new medium, detailing and intensifying the saturation of colour. ‘Ambedo,’ is a melancholic trance in which a person becomes completely absorbed in vivid sensory details.

Kathryn’s Pop Realism paintings draw on the pulsating energy of Las Vegas, freeze frames of iconic Hollywood cinema, recognisable signage and advertisements and celebrity, all delivered within the realm of ‘Pop’

I have wanted to create a body of work that resonates with being in stillness. I’ve been hibernating for the last while reflecting on my mindset. Taking time. Reprogramming. Through the practice of painting I have been practising stillness. These works are all abstract imaginings that are representative of no specific time frame, place or reality but rather a general energy or spirit.

‘Subterfuge lives amongst us’ an all-new body of work by Rebecca Pierce featuring portraits, abstracts, landscapes and photography. 

“Western perceptions of land on the other hand position the landscape as the other and the outer, a site to be developed, exploited, and experienced. As a little boy growing up on the land I was constantly evolving within a combination of fear and wonder. The unfolding landscape was filled with forms of heroes and villains contained within nature, seasons, and time. This was and still is providing me with the essential ingredients of connection and experience. My experience of land was not that of conquest, violence, tragedy, or despair yet it existed upon it” – Dean Reilly.

This exhibition is inspired by hikes around Sydney harbour and Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. “We have on our doorstep one of Australia’s most diverse geological wonders of all time, The Sydney Basin. My painting inspiration is one small section by comparison but to me its presence is huge. Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park with its beautiful Hawkesbury River backdrop magnifies the intense beauty, heightens the light and compounds the stature of the extraordinarily awesome monolithic ROCKS!”- Miranda Summers

Customarily my paintings encapsulate an observers captivated gaze over a subject. My viewpoint on someone captured living in a moment.
