Precious Moments by Tracy Dods

"Much of my work depicts the lushness of the human form alongside the exciting colours of Australia’s beaches. The sea has such a strong calling for me in that it can be a frightening thing, vast, unknown and destructive. Yet, conversely, it can be a meditative thing with its constant motion, its horizon, while its expansiveness stimulates the senses. I feel that it has a big role in the Australian psyche.

Australian beaches reflect joy, hedonism, fun and of course the sun. Beneath this shimmering surface lies much more: confessor, critic, soul mate, and stranger. The beach, the expansive ocean and the motion of the waves begs the question – is it friend or foe? It can just as easily take and, then bestow its bounty on us. The seascape with its strength and rhythm may not have all the answers, but it will always be there for us, listening and healing, delivering answers drawn from an ancient, collective memory of deep power and knowledge."

Tower Records One by Kathryn Gallagher

Sydney based artist Kathryn Gallagher is best known for her Pop realist paintings based on iconic Hollywood Cinema. Kathryn’s works are bold, highly saturated in colour focusing on comic strips intertwined with popular advertisements and iconic Hollywood Celebrity.

Like much Pop Art, it provokes debate over ideas of originality, consumerism and the fine line between fine art and entertainment, yet at the same time awakens a sense of nostalgia in the viewer.

In the window this week, August Series 4 by Roxanne Lillis.

"My artworks are created following sketches on our acreage of virgin bushland. My studio overlooks regenerating bushland and the slow return of fauna.

My intention is to create ambiguous organic forms. The ambiguity opens diverse interpretations. Whimsical yet solemn, in an abstract expressionist style."
– Roxanne Lillis

Lauri Smith sculptures on display in the gallery, The Secret Conversations of Snow Yaks.

Lauri’s fascination with Jim Henson's iconic creature creations in ‘The Labyrinth’ and ‘The Dark Crystal’ ignited her passion for art and storytelling leading her to pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts, refining her skills and nurturing her artistic voice. A natural innovator, Lauri furthered her expertise with a Diploma in Special Effects Makeup and prop making, paving the way for a successful career in TV, film, and fashion. The amalgamation of these diverse experiences further inspires her unique practice, in particular, her three-dimensional work, blurring the lines between fantasy and reality.

Align by Ben Liney.

Ben Liney is an Australian artist working on the lands of the Yalukit-willam.

Align
90 x 60cm
oil on canvas
$3,300.00

Seeking inspiration from explorations across the country, he takes a rigorous approach to bring new visions of place, depicting minimal scenes in an intimate realistic form.

Working in oil painting, Ben explores the unwounded beauty of the landscape and how it can carry out the hidden work of life within us.

With a focus on rock forms set against an open background, distinct details of the natural world are revealed in order to invite a conversation of the landscape into our everyday.

Curious by Danielle McManus is available in our END OF YEAR SALE!

Curious
100cm x 120cm
acrylic on canvas
$4,350

Relying on the beauty of the landscape as a constant backdrop, my inspiration at present is drawn from everyday life. My three children provide me with a constant stream of ideas and that, along with the changing seasons of the Hunter Valley and the birds and fauna here, supply more than enough material!

I like to evoke feelings in the viewer, hoping they can in fact relate to the work and imagine a story of their own. Frequently there is no predetermined ideas as such, the story evolves and the canvas takes on a personality of its own.

Inside Dean Reilly's studio.

Dean’s recent works have focused on Australia, its artists, history, myths and legends.

“For me, national identity appears to be like our own identity, made up of generalisations, misrepresentations, truths and totems of significant moments and events. In this collection, I am redefining my own identity by looking deeper into our nation’s historical development through a somewhat contradictory, whimsical and questionable lens." - Dean Reilly
