Introducing Amélie Smith and her deeply personal exploration of life, emotion and early adulthood.

Working intuitively through colour, layering and semi-abstract mark-making, Amélie uses painting as a way to process her experiences, ask questions and better understand her internal world.

Swipe through to meet Amélie and discover the stories and process behind the work.

30 years of making. Some of it never seen before.

96–26 Retrospective marks three decades since Dieter Kraus Dieter Kraus held his first solo exhibition.

For this exhibition, Dieter has opened the plan files and dug deep, bringing together work created from 1996 to today — including drawings that have never previously been exhibited.

Moving through figurative, landscape and abstract expressionism, the exhibition offers a look across an evolving practice and the ideas that have continued to pull Dieter back to the page.

Introducing Water and Stone by Sally Darlison Sally Darlison | Collage | stitch | maps .

Working with hand-dyed reclaimed silk, hand embroidery and free-motion machine stitching, Sally explores place, landscape and our relationship with the natural environment.

In Water and Stone, she turns her attention to two elemental forces and the extraordinary landscapes created when they meet — rivers, gorges, bays and glacier-formed landscapes shaped slowly over time.

A celebration of the power, beauty and resilience of the natural world.

Meet Rafaela Lambrou Rafaela Lambrou/Abstract Wall Artist , one of the artists exhibiting in Unbound 2026.

Born in Australia and raised on the island of Lesvos, Greece, Rafaela’s work is deeply influenced by the sea and the natural world.

Working with resin, alcohol ink and acrylic, she creates intuitive, fluid pieces exploring texture, movement and emotion. Art has also become a form of personal therapy — a way to express what can’t always be put into words.

The beach remains a place of inspiration and calm, with its colours, movement and energy continuing to shape her creative practice.

Come and discover Rafaela’s work as part of Unbound 2026.

Showing until Sunday 11 October
Gallery Unbound, Northcote
