Current: Avenues by Nick Crawford

6 - 17 October

Nick Crawford is an Australian photographer, previously based in New York City. Working exclusively on film, he spent the past five years walking the city’s avenues, photographing candid, unscripted moments of everyday life. Avenues is his first exhibition.

‘Most people like to photograph their lives. I like to photograph the life around me. I want to make art from what I see—beauty, sadness, joy, humor, absurdity, irony, coincidence.

New York is an especially good place for this. I moved there in 2017 and, busy with my job, was slow to make the most of its creative energy. Afraid I never would, I dedicated my weekends to walking along the avenues with my camera, searching for moments to translate into photographs.

I started with landscapes but soon drifted toward candid snapshots of people. I was drawn to these kinds of images for their sense of narrative: Who is this person? Where are they going? Are they having a good or bad day?

The camera can record what happened, but it can’t tell me what it means. That mystery keeps me curious. I don’t need all the answers. I like imagining what lies beyond the frame, and I hope the viewer does too.’

Open Sunday 12pm-3pm: Four Seasons of Creativity

Our last day of the current exhibition by Ed Bechervaise & Lucie Kershaw. Meet the artists in the gallery to experience the works in person and discuss their practices from 12-3pm.

28 Sept - 4 Oct

Ed Bechervaise is a Melbourne-based artist whose vibrant paintings draw on a background in street art, abstraction, and visual storytelling. Through expressive colour and intuitive mark-making, his work explores emotion, memory, and imagination, transforming everyday experiences into dynamic contemporary artworks. In this exhibition, Bechervaise collaborates with his wife, Lucie Kershaw, whose playful soft sculptures bring a whimsical sculptural dimension to the gallery. Together, their works create an engaging and imaginative conversation between painting and form.

Inspired by the changing seasons, Four Seasons of Change reflects the different stages and emotional landscapes of the creative process, the highs, the lows, the moments of energy and inspiration, as well as periods of doubt, uncertainty and reflection. Like the seasons themselves, creativity is constantly changing, shifting between growth, abundance, stillness and renewal.
