The Aviary is a vibrant, salon style exhibition at traffic tram galleries that brings together a diverse flock of contemporary artists inspired by the majesty, mystery, and personality of birds.
The Aviary celebrates the beauty and personality of birds through a rich collection of paintings.
From renderings capturing the striking plumage of native Australian species, their quirky behaviours and watchful presence in the landscape to the iconographic abstracted.
Featuring dynamic works by Ebony Bennett, renowned for her expressive oil paintings of Australian natives such as the Red-Tailed Black Cockatoo, Magpie and Kookaburra. The exhibition also showcases a vivid array of acrylic-based works by fellow artists, Danielle McManus, Andrew Bennett, Dean Reilly, and Margie Spencer, each bringing their own unique perspective and palette to the theme.
This curated experience is available for private viewing by appointment from the 17th of June.
Traffic Jam Galleries will be exhibiting at the Affordable Art Fair Hong Kong, taking place from 22 – 25 May 2025 at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre.

Returning for its third consecutive year, traffic jam galleries is excited to announce our participation of the 2023 Singapore Affordable Art Fair. You can find us on level 3, stand 3D-12 from the 7th - 10th of November.
Opening 3pm on Saturday the 2nd of November please join Andrew Bennett and the tjg team in celebrating ‘Recent Works’. A body of work that continues Andrew’s exploration into the realm of imagination, blending conscious reality with the surreal, focusing on the dream-like subconscious.
Through hyper-realistic rendering, Andrew incorporates everyday objects, wildlife, and fragments of landscapes in unexpected compositions, where the unusual becomes the norm. This unique approach generates a sense of energy and tension, making his work instantly recognisable.
This exhibition is a vibrant and joyful depictions of my time in Sydney.
Whenever I am in Sydney, it is the water, the harbour that attracts me; to see the light sparkling, taking note of the colours on a blue sky day, the colours in the reflection on the water in the evenings; the different types of boats, their shapes, their sizes, the movement on the water; there is so much activities all day and every day, it is just brilliant to sit on the shore or take a ferry trip and just to observe.
For a long time now I have wanted to experience Vivid in Sydney harbour to see the light show and final, this year I was able to go. The event is absolutely fabulous!! My ‘Vivid Sydney festival of lights series’ was created from that one evening from a vantage point of a cruise boat. These five works are literally a visual diary of that evening – we boarded the boat in the Rocks, sailed pass The Opera House and under the Harbour Bridge, checking out Luna Park, back to the dock, from here we finished the evening by walking to Customs House to view the changing display. My intentions were to celebrate each moment.
traffic jam galleries is delighted to be presenting Ben Liney’s first exhibition with traffic jam galleries titled STILL GROUND, after a close to sell-out showing of his works at the recent Sydney Affordable Art Fair.
Ben Liney is an Australian artist working on the lands of the Bunurong. Ben often draws inspiration from his explorations across Country, approaching his practice with the intent to capture new perspectives of place, rendering scenes of terrain with intimate realism. His oil paintings delve into the untouched beauty of the landscape, exploring how it reflects the inner workings of life within us.
Focusing on rock formations set against openly expansive neutral backgrounds, Ben reveals the subtle details of the natural world, inviting a dialogue that encourages reflection on the relationship between the viewer and their interactions with the environment.
