Sophie Farquhar and Roxanne Lillis come together in this group exhibition Sanctuary, to examine reduction, refinement and the quiet persistence of form. Through soft abstraction and restrained painterly gestures, the exhibition considers what is left behind when imagery is distilled to its most essential structures, when atmosphere, memory and sensation take precedence over representation. Working from an intimate relationship to environment and place, both artists condense landscape and spatial experience into subtle arrangements of colour, texture and movement. Contours dissolve, edges blur and compositions become increasingly pared back, revealing an attentiveness to stillness and restraint. Rather than describing the external world directly, the works retain traces of it.

As we enter the middle of the year, the gallery is pleased to announce a special SALE across a curated selection of works by a curate selection from our stable of artists. Following the recent Australian budget release and amidst a shifting economic landscape, this initiative is intended to encourage continued engagement with and support for local creative communities. The collection offers an opportunity to acquire original artworks at accessible prices, spanning a diverse range of practices and mediums. We invite you to explore the selection and discover works that resonate, while supporting the artists and creative voices shaping the contemporary cultural landscape.

traffic jam galleries is elated to announce the return of our exhibition series Untitled.  Opening on May 2nd, the exhibition series aims to exhibit and focus on artists foreign to the gallery space that reflect a spectrum of experience, subject matter and practice, and would predominately be considered emerging. Through varied and engaging work, Untitled. is a transformation of the norm into a reflection of what is to come. Each artist has chosen to exhibit a small selection of works that reflect the current stage in their practice and thoughts on topics and issues important to them. The aim of this medley of physical and conceptual forms is to promote a culture of diversity and show that mixed bodies of seemingly disconnected ideas have the ability to strengthen and support each other. 

traffic jam galleries are so excited to be representing Jane, and this body of work resonates with all the beautiful hallmarks and nuances her practice is known for. Jane's works are intimate and deeply considered, unfolding with a gentle confidence that invites the viewer to slow down and engage. There is a tenderness in the way she draws from the landscape, using memory and sensation as tools to explore the intersection between her physical and psychological experiences of the natural world. Gestural mark-making intertwined with the layering of medium, echo the environment in which she surrounds herself, immersing the exhibition in lived experience. Morning Pages encourages us to pause, to notice,

Opening January 17th 'Quiet Joys' captures and rejoices in the gentle, often overlooked moments of everyday life. Through intimate paintings that sit between abstraction and observation, Sophie’s work celebrates the pleasure found in daily rhythms and domestic life. Influenced by the natural beauty of her seaside surroundings, her paintings are imbued with a sense of light, space, and quiet contemplation.
