Eduardo Santos works with gravity the way other artists work with oils or ink. Gravity guides the line and pins down his disparate materials of sand, earth, paint and varnish. Each layer accretes like sediment. The dense dry texture of sand and the lumpen rivulets formed by earth mixed with paint generate a haptic experience something like standing inside a river cave or being pinned beneath the glassy swell of a wave.

Santos credits his relationship to visceral, highly textural-materials to a childhood spent in the north of Brazil, in a terrain “where the river meets the ocean” and experiences with his grandfather, an Amazonian potter, Santos would mimic in the clay of the rivers edge. The humility of simple materials; a conflation of the natural and the ‘found’; the tactility of hand-made and rough-hewn things and, ultimately, primal landscapes, all play a role in the artist’s work.

Congratulations to Inga Dalrymple, selected as a finalist in the 2026 Abbotsleigh Grace Cossington Smith Art Award. Finalists have been chosen by judges Barry Keldoulis, Artbank Client Services Coordinator and Anna Davis, Curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney.

This year’s theme, Making Connections, draws on the spirit of Grace Cossington Smith’s own work - her connections to family, domestic life and the everyday world around her.

Inga Dalrymple’s work ‘Beside Me’ - a quietly observed view from a window, painted in oil on linen - speaks to exactly that: finding meaning in the familiar, and the way light, place, and perception shift what we think we know.

The finalist exhibition runs from 18 July – 15 August 2026 at the , Wahroonga.

Limited Release by Caroline Cornelius –

Request catalogue via [email protected].

Caroline Cornelius is a British artist based in London, who has completed her postgraduate studies at The Royal Drawing School. Her work centres around the female form, the duality of ageing and the fragility and fleetingness inherent in life, often reflecting on the complexity and beauty of maternal relationships.

“The figuration in my work is a type of storytelling - not in the traditional sense of beginning, middle, and end, but as a way to communicate a personal story. The environments I paint are often familiar places held in my memory: London gardens, bright patterned sun loungers, boats on water. They appear hazy and not fully realised, as if half‑remembered.

I reflect on the past and consider how these moments have shaped my life today; sometimes there is a tinge of sadness, a sense of lost opportunities, the quiet realisation that we often walk along a path already cut and shaped ahead of us.

In my own work, this intertwining of memory, solitude, and care is a thread that binds the figures, landscapes and animals together into a personal and ever evolving narrative.”

We are proud to congratulate Dapeng Liu on his selection as a finalist in The 2026 Sovereign Asian Art Prize, Asia’s most prestigious contemporary art prize, presented by the Sovereign Art Foundation in Hong Kong.

Born in Beijing and based in Sydney, Dapeng creates work that sits at the intersection of his cross-cultural identity, interrogating the past and present of the fusion between East and West through contemporary landscape painting infused with traditional storytelling, deep thinking, and a striking command of colour, composition and form.

A three-time Archibald Prize finalist, Dapeng’s works are held in private and public collections in Australia and internationally.

Request Dapeng Lui’s catalogue via [email protected].

Congratulations Dapeng!

NOW IS NOW –

Otomys presents Now is Now, a solo exhibition by Greg Wood, open until 15 May.

Request exhibition catalogue via [email protected].

At the edge of dawn, when the forest breathes out into the crisp beginning of a day, Greg Wood finds his vision. He seeks the softer light, the spaces of rain and mist, the glowing fuzz of pre-dawn light, the quiet hum of winter cloud. Wood is drawn to colour, tone, and textures: air and water are silver-grey; the forest is a deep dense, emerald. Wood finds the ancient, more venerable elements of his subjects: the land is antique; hinting at a more subtle element of Wood’s imagery: time. Everything is immediate, taking place in the moment of creation: here is the now. Wood captures a moment, documenting how he felt to really be there, watching a moment transform.

Now is Now, just as much as it was then, as it will be. Wood’s time is fluid, silver, captured, yet still slipping away, as it does for us all.
