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 […]
Melbourne-based Nick Howson’s latest body of work depicts his immersive experience of landscape during long distance car journeys to Sydney and the Blue Mountains last year. Eschewing expressways, the route traversed forests, rural vistas and coastal areas where he often stayed for days at a time to explore and sketch his observations for future paintings. […]

The title of this exhibition is fun and colourful like the work. It describes the idyllic surrounds of our subtropical area, but it also has a more meaningful side, as it references a rich history of utopian style art. Artists, philosophers and writers have always been in the business of imagining better and brighter worlds. […]
Sydney-based Sophie Gralton’s signature imagery again explores the realms of vulnerable innocence, curiosity, spontaneity and unbounded potentiality which characterises childhood. The exhibition’s title, Funny By Accident, is a tribute to her daughter Isadora who was an inspirational muse for many years. “She was hands down the funniest kid without meaning to be, ‘funny by accident’ […]
My passion for painting mid century modernism narratives has, at it’s core, of being born in the 1950’s and a love of swimming pools and exploration. The post WWII optimism and economic boom reflects the playful and futuristic aspects of mid century modern design. Motels with large neon signs attracted travellers and highlighted the great […]
“Understanding… that life – and art – can be framed by flowers” Georgina Reid (Cressida Campbell catalogue essay) The olive greens, greys, muted pinks and big blue skies of Scotland have weaved their way through these paintings and flowed across the canvas. To see such vast beauty was hugely inspiring. Wending our way through York, […]
