Art has long been considered a mirror where glimpses of life’s meaning may be experienced and expressed. The intricate narratives in Jill Lewis’ paintings reflect her deeply philosophical musings. Imbued with abundant layers of otherness, symbolism and imagination, the works challenge convention and category. Interior and exterior, visible and invisible, ancient and new, meld together […]
The paintings in Kirsten Chambers’ third exhibition with Anthea Polson Art express her inspirations for art making. She explains that its title Mudlarking, originated in London’s 18th century Thames region, “Mudlarking is the activity of searching muddy banks of tidal rivers for interesting and perhaps valuable objects. I think it is a perfect metaphor for […]
Vicki Stavrou explores the Palm Springs and mid-century modern phenomenon along with the two iconic identities of this time -Barbie and Ken. Both Barbie (born 1959) and Ken (born 1961) emerged alongside mid-century modernism in the shape of sophistication and a perfectly designed life. Mid-century modernism represented a confident new way of living – open […]
Small Stories is Dale Rhodes’ inaugural exhibition with Anthea Polson Art. He imparts that its title is somewhat contradictory as his paintings are specifically non-narrative.

Elaine Green’s fifth solo exhibition with Anthea Polson Art continues her fascination with landscapes veiled in mist and overhead shifting clouds. The now Tasmanian based artist’s works resonate an immersive experience of place. Akin to 19th century Romanticism, they manifest intangible qualities. She relays that nature’s atmospheric poetry can never be adequately expressed in a […]
Abstract botanical shapes hover over the canvas surfaces in Beth Kennedy’s third solo exhibition with Anthea Polson Art. She tells that this latest body of work references the old Welsh proverb dod yn ôl at fy nghoed translated as ‘return to my trees’. The phrase means a coming back to a place of regeneration and […]
Gold Coast-based, Jodie Wells’ 9th solo exhibition with Anthea Polson Art invites the viewer to experience the ‘wild grace’ offered in the natural world. Expressed through a deep engagement with the plasticity of her oil medium, Jodie’s affable subjects are not consciously invested with any narrative or symbolic import. They quite simply represent a quest […]

Perry describes the show’s title, Cultivar, as metaphorically relating to the cultivar plant that is a species cultivated to produce desired attributes. “This new body of work explores how we cultivate our surroundings, shaping the natural world to […]
