Gold Coast-based Steve Tyerman relays that his art has always involved the depiction of landscape vistas. “I have an innate curiosity, sense of wonder and awe of nature,” he imparts. “Eventually the coastal scenery experienced during recreational excursions seeped into my psyche and those seaside terrains have been persistent in my work ever since. The […]
The works in Melissa Egan’s current exhibition are indeed paintings from the island. They were all painted in Launceston on the island of Tasmania where she dwells during the summer months to escape the heat of Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. Although much of the imagery takes its source of inspiration from encounters with actual localities in […]
Martin’s world is ever one of positivity and happy times. He aspires to have the viewer come share his outlook and escape into his works away from the dire events presented daily in news broadcasts.

Pocket Views is Lani Westerman’s inaugural exhibition with Anthea Polson Art. She tells that not only does its title refer to the very small size of the works but also to “the small ‘pocket views’ that are often depicted within an overall scene.” The nonfigurative works take as their source of inspiration an encounter with […]

Federal-based Kirsten Chambers describes the exhibition’s paintings as depictions of local areas that she has a visual and environmental affinity with. Often presented from an aerial perspective, several works reconfigure vistas observed from hinterland roads. Although the paintings take their source of inspiration from such encounters, they transcend any sense of literal location. The scenes […]
Buderim-based Veronica Cay informs that her current paintings and drawings depict an ongoing conversation she is having about the varied roles and experiences of women throughout history. Her focus is always from a female perspective. Cay’s works embrace the figurative expressionist mode. Both painted surface and human document they have an extraordinary psychological presence. The figures […]
Opening The Door On Curiosity is David Green’s third solo exhibition with Anthea Polson Art. Contrary to most artists, Green begins each new work with an established title. “Having the title in place gives me a clearer understanding of what I am sensing to achieve, in essence, the journey is clearer,” he discloses. With a […]
